Good luck with your project!
I have a bench at the end of the bed for my little dog, and a ramp in the living room for the couch. Both are projects found here on this site if you need ideas.

Excellent post, Gail, with lots of great information! Spray paint – what a great invention!

I’m chiming in here to add my two cents on the Preval sprayer system. I haven’t yet used mine, but I do have a project that I want to use it for: I have a collection of baby food jars in various sizes (my kitty got sick and in order to get her to take her meds, I had to disguise them in baby food, which she slurped right down!) and I want to pour small custom-colored, scented candles in them and then paint the metal lids various shades of aqua and turquoise. The reason I ordered the Preval system is because you have the option of mixing your own paint colors that way. You can take latex craft paint and mix your own colors, water the paint down a bit and then use the Preval system to spray your special paint color.

Once I get around to the project, I’ll have to let you know what I think of the Preval. I’m sure as Catherine said, it’d be a bit of trial and error to get the mixing done correctly. You can check YouTube for various videos the company has put out about their system.

Thinking of you and hoping you are getting better as each day passes!

Best,

Kimberly

I have used Preval for many years and it can work really well!
*It’s best used for little projects.
*You do need to thin latex satin/semi/gloss down just a little bit, and flat paint not quite as much~it’s kind of trial and error.
*You’ll find that the aerosol can gets VERY cold (almost freezing up) and you may have to stop for a moment to let it settle down before continuing.
*You can purchase the whole kit, and then “refill” aerosol cans for less, just reusing the original jar (but check the new can for a fresh straw–sometimes it’s missing).
Hope this helps–they are definitely worth it for some projects!
