Other advantage of spray paint is that it adheres to almost all types of surfaces such as wood, plaster, wicker, metal, paper, ceramic, pottery, porcelain and polyurethane. This versatility makes it possible to use the product to paint not only walls, but also furniture and many other objects, such as a bicycle.
