Place flamingos inside a cardboard box outside. It's necessary for them to be put in a box but it helps contain the spray paint from blowing everywhere.

Spray the flamingos using Hammered Finished Paint in Black. Coat the front of the birds and allow to dry. Once side of the birds are dry, flip over and finish spraying the rest of the birds with paint. Make sure the birds are completely covered in black paint and allow them to dry.
