Step 4Spray!!
In this step, try to do it in an open space.
Spread the newspaper on the floor and put the parts on them as far as possible from each other.Before that, clean the surface of the parts to make sure they are clean, dry and not sticky. I skipped this step, but as suggested by one of our member from this site, use rubbing alcohol will clean the surface.If not, sand paper is just as good.(Credit to klubvibez)
Shake the spray paint can for about 3 minutes to make sure it is well mixed. Do a test spray on other newspaper. The distance should be around 25 - 30cm. Don't spray too near.
After ensuring that spray can is good to go, spray on the parts. Mind the distance (25 - 30 cm). Spray on top and the sides. After spraying the first layer, leave them dry for 10-15 mins.
Once they are dry, spray again for another layer and let it dry. Repeat the same step for third layer and so on until you are satisfied that the paint layers are even. Let them dry for half an hour.
While waiting for them to dry, you can brush away the dusts that are trapped inside your PDA. ;)

Great job on the instructable! One comment if i may? Its best to clean all surfaces that are to be painted with rubbing alcohol thoroughly. this will remove all dust, fingerprints, oil or icky stuff that will cause the paint job to degrade in the long run. Also you could possibly sand it if you like. Then it will be smooth and shiny as opposed to porous. Clearcoat after? The world is your oyster. Now if there was only a way to chrome plate plastic.....that would be blingin.
