Hi guys, I have these metal door frames that I want to paint it black. Is it ok to use spray paint (canisters) instead of normal steel paint (using brush)?

I wanted to paint it matte black, hence thinking of using spray can (as I don't have those compressor machine)

The existing paint is new (with minor scratches here & there), and do I need to sand it before painting?

the frame is similar like this (original beige color, intend to paint matte black)

Can. Most importantly, need to sand and use a primer.

Using a paint brush gives a better finishing. Spray painting requires skill, costlier and time consuming.

I wanted matte result, that's why I'm thinking spray can instead of brush.
wont brush leaves streaks/lines? hmm.gif

Brush will have some orange peel but no line and no streak if applied with OCD prepping ie sand down lightly then wipe with dish wash solution, then (for brush) 2 thin coats with light sanding overall and flattening high spots/teardrops in between 1st and 2nd coat.

Same prep for spraying, just that u dont need to sand in between.

Matte need multiple kiamsiap thin coats spray for best result. Too thick, too wet, becomes glossy and teardrop lines form sad.gif

Prep work is key.. 80%, paint application 20% for best result.
