First let me start by saying that during the summer of 2011 I painted my front door red. My house is white and so was the door, so I thought that a nice bright red would be the perfect touch. I can't remember what the brand or color was, but it was fantastic to work with. I will have to dig it out of my basement and let you know what it was called.
Anyway, back to my project that made me fall in love with spray paint,
I had these two, old, white plastic lawn chairs on my itty bitty front porch. One day I got tired of looking at them, so I decided to paint them. I knew immediately that I did not want to paint them with a paint brush or roller, I was too busy for all that clean up. So I opted for spray paint. I took a trip to my local +Home Depot and I bought a few cans Rust-oleum Painter's Touch 2x Paint and Primer that sticks to plastic. The color I used was Colonial Red. To get the paint to stick to the chair better I took an old grill brush and scrubbed the chair down, then washed it with a bleach and water mixture. Once dried I spray painted away!
Here is a before and after, side by side: (The red chair only has one coat of paint, I did two coats on both of them.)
Keep in mind that when I took this picture I did not know that I would be featuring them on this blog, I took it to send it to my mom so she could see my genius.
After this little project I decided to do one more, using spray paint of course! You can view that project under Spray Painted Box Fan
