I don't do the spray painting, hubs does (cause he thinks he's the expert) and he has complained about Krylon. He likes True Values less expensive spray paint better than Krylon. This was one of best posts with all the excellent info and tips. Thanks so much for sharing as it has helped me and imagine many other readers.<br /> I bought 3 cans of white gloss for an outdoor faux wicker table with glass top at True Value, hope it works good, we use table as coffee table. I'm tired of darker tables so am lightening up. Want to have beach chic living room. We have small l/r so need to lighten it up all over. I got some light gray background curtains with white design and what a difference it made, especially after winter doldrums.
