Step by step guide
Step Number1

Carefully strip down the phone by removing the base and buttons, clean thoroughly.

 
Step Number2

Place newspaper down to protect the area in which you are spraying. Now spray the phone with White Primer. Allow 45 minutes to dry.

 
Step Number3

To achieve the background color spray Gloss Yellow at one end of the phone and Metallic Gold at the other crossing over in the middle. Don't spray too close to the surface of the phone, this will help to blend the colors. Allow 45 minutes drying time.

 

 
Step Number4

Now you need to make a loose mask of your leopard spots. To do this take your letter size paper and draw a series of irregular spot shapes (make sure you've left enough surrounding paper to protect the phone as you spray). Carefully cut these small spot shapes out using pair of scissors or craft knife.

 
Step Number5

You then hold the paper roughly an inch above the surface (the closer you hold the paper to the phones surface the harder the edges) and spray the Flat Black through the loose mask. Practice this on some newspaper first as it will take a few goes to get it how you want it.

 
Step Number6


Once your phone is thoroughly dry put it back together and call some friends!

 
Step Number7

Note: Always follow usage instructions on the reverse of Valspar Spray Paint cans.
