General steps: 1) Shake can to mix PetPaint. 2) Lay your outlines. 3) Fill in color or shading. 4) Enjoy! Spray patterns can be adjusted with distance from animal. Use stencils for nice detailed edges, shapes and symbols. Use your dog's natural color patterns to accent your design. For brilliant color on dark animals spray white first then your final color over the white base. PetPaint requires a minimal amount of time to dry. PetPaint takes about 10-20 seconds but upwards of two minutes will ensure maximum dryness. PetPaint can be washed off with the same mild shampoo and water used when giving dogs their regular baths.
