What is the process to paint my drum kit? I have 2 wood shells, and one is like acrylic/plastic.?

What types of paint should i use, i was leaning towards spray paint because its easier for me personally. I'm assuming i'd have to put on a coat of primer, and then the actual color, right? And i want it to have like a shiny glossy finish, do i spray on like a clear coat in the end or something? If yes, please help me out, and where do i buy paints like that, home depot, wal mart, or where?What is the process to paint my drum kit? I have 2 wood shells, and one is like acrylic/plastic.?
The drum with the acrylic on it is most likely a sheet of acrylic glued on to the wood You should remove that before you paint it. And yes you would use a primer coat and acrylic lacquer to finish the drums. Your choice of color followed by a coat of clear lacquer for a high gloss. Pep Boys ,Home Depot or hardware store


etc. All these are spray paintsWhat is the process to paint my drum kit? I have 2 wood shells, and one is like acrylic/plastic.?
Ive done this myself, remove any plastic wrapping and sand the shell so its smooth, remove any dust from the shell with a rag, buy a 2-pak primer (etch primer) and apply 2 coats, once the primer is dry sand it back a bit with 1800 grit sandpaper

continued... once this step is finished buy some acrylic clear and apply 2 coats, once again leave an hour between each coat *REMEMBER NOT TO APPLY TOO MUCH OF CLEAR, IT WILL DRIP!* once the 2 coats are applied this will look really good, u then need to buy some hardener and rub that around the shel

continued.. once that is done, buy some 2-pak paint in any colour you want, apply three coats, leave an hour gap in between each coat, once that is done and u r happy with it so far, buy some reducer and rub it around the shell until the finish is starting to look really smooth

once you have applied the hardener and its all dry, the last step is to get like car polish or something and polish the whole shell, whether that be manually or with a buffing grinder. and there u have it, a sweet looking finish that will last you a lifetime
