How to Paint on Snap Clips

By Society & Culture & Entertainment Last updated Saturday, May/25/2024

1). Wash each snap clip with soap. Avoid chemical cleansers, which may leave behind trace residues that could prevent good adhesion. Instead, opt for a water-based soap.
2). Rinse each snap clip under a water tap. Dry the clips using clean cloth rags.
3). Place the snap clip on a canvas drop cloth. Don't use cheap polypropylene plastic drop cloths, which will let primer and paint overspray pool.
4). Coat the snap clip with a fine layer of galvanized metal-etching spray primer. Prevent unsightly sagging and clotting by holding an 8-inch space between the snap clip and the spray tip. Apply in several brief bursts instead of a steady, saturating stream. Let the clip dry for two hours before turning it over to prime the other side. Let the snap clip dry for three hours.
5). Coat the snap clip with a fine layer of acrylic spray enamel. Hold an 8-inch space between the snap clip and the spray tip. Apply in several brief bursts instead of a heavy stream. Let the clip dry for two hours before turning it over to paint the other side.
6). Allow the snap clip to dry completely for three hours.
