Can I just easily spraypaint a shirt? I want something similiar to pic related just in white, my idea was since its such a simple logo to just cut it out in cardboard and then spraypaint over it.
Does anyone know how well that works, in regards to washing etc.?

You'll want to make sure you spray thinly from a distance so that the paint doesn't bleed too much outside the lines

DO NOT SPRAY PAINT ANYTHING TO YOUR SHIRT! Use iron on designs or something. Spray paint will not turn out like you want it to.

spraypaint feels nasty on a shirt

sure you can, but it won't be high quality

otherwise a better option would be to get some screen printing ink from a craft store, and dab it on over a template with a foam brush

I've spraypainted shirts all the time, idk why other anons are freaking out about it. it looks exactly like if you get a airbrushed shirt at the fair or something. make sure you mask everything off well, and put something inbetween the front and back of the shirt. spray light coats, it doesn't take much and if you go too thick your shirt will feel weird. if you do it then, it feels soft and normal after washing.

I would recommend buying a bottle of screen printing ink for a design like that though because of the sharp lines. spray paint will be fuzzy. screen printing ink is super cheap and you can just paint it on with a foam brush, it's very easy.

Freezer paper can be cut into a stencil. If you put the plastic side down it irons into a shirt giving you clean lines. Peels off afterwards

This
There's no reason to use spraypaint when you can just stencil. Then you can use paint actually made for fabrics.
Use thick or laminated paper and use that sticky spray temporary adhesive stuff on the back of the stencil so it sticks to the shirt and doesn't move around while you stencil & holds the tiny bits flat.

If you want to make many shirts of the same design, then screenprint so you can reuse the screen as much as you need. If you're just making one shirt, cut a stencil.
