How to DIY Paint and Label Hockey Pucks
… the Quick / Easy / Ugly way…
It’s very simple. First you need spray paint. Don’t spray too much. The paint won’t stick. It will float on top of the the puck. It may form bubbles too.
Therefore better paint two pucks at a time, then rub them against each other to ensure a thin layer of paint over the entire surface.
Wait for it to dry a bit.
Then repeat on the other side.
After a few minutes the paint is dry and, if you want, you can label them with a permanent marker.

Some tips
#1 Orange puck on black ice.
I always use painted pucks on the lake because lake ice tends to be black. Remember … roller hockey pucks are usually orange or green for the same reason. It’s played on dark surfaces.
#2 Spray paint is messy
Go outside when using spray paint. Careful so the paint doesnt blow onto your clothes or in your face.
#3 Paint many pucks at once
After 5-10 sessions the paint is almost completely faded away. Since it’s annoying to repaint the puck all the time, I rather paint about ten pucks at once. When one puck is faded, I swithch to another one, and so on. Ten pucks is enough for the entire season. Therefore I only need to paint pucks once a year.
#4 Perfect gift
Why not leave a painted puck behind at the ice? It costs you like one dollar but your buddies will really appreciate your nice deed.
