Best spray paint for steel targets.
To sum up this foray into the wonderful world of steel target painting the paint i recommend is rust oleum inverted striping paint.
The krylon covermaxx spray paint for metal is one of the most durable and best spray paint for metal options currently available.
I have just finished spraying up 3 large steel plate targets that i plan to use as swinging targets at 300 600 and 1000 meters.
It is important to hold the can about 8 10 inches away for the surface and use a quick trigger and fast transition to keep it from building up on the surface.
Cheap spray paints will come up much faster than a spray paint that s made for steel.
Wide fan spray pattern is ideal for painting the broad flat surfaces on steel targets.
The 2 shorter plates i applied white paint then a coat of flat black then i put a 8 white solid circle in the middle.

It s extremely fast drying cons.
We recommend something tough like rust oleum spray paint because it s formulated just for metal surfaces.
It s easy and intuitive to use and provides an excellent finish with minimal effort.
Hold your spray can about 12 inches from the target.
It s going to stand up better than your cheap all purpose spray paint and will provide additional protection against rust.
The larger target has had a coat of flat black then white then a 10 black centre circle.
