#Projects using rust oleum spray paint for free#
I didn’t get them for free and am not partnering with Rustoleum in any way. (Note: I’m not getting paid to review these. Plus, I didn’t mind the few areas that rubbed, so I moved forward with the finish coat.Īnd here is how I feel about the products I used. But I personally think that is because I was impatient and should have given it another hour to dry. SECOND COAT FINISHEDĪs you can see, after the second coat there were some spots that rubbed off. 🙂 So I wanted to give it a little more durability with a second coat. If that is what I was going for then I could have stopped here and strategically sanded down areas to give it that look.īut I have a feeling my son is going to distress this all on his own with everyday use. Now there are certain projects where a person may want a distressed look. ONE COAT FINISHEDĪbove you can see the coverage after one coat. Rarely does it only take one coat when it comes to painting. I was highly doubtful that it would only require one coat to get the coverage that I needed. Because isn’t that how all handy DIYers do it? 😉 AN EXPERT’S WORK STATION So I took the bed apart, with the help of my handsome hubby, and set up shop in the garage. I did not want to sand this, hence the chalk paint. So as you can see the wood is an engineered cherry wood finish. Because we live in a small town with very limited hardware store selection and no big box stores. I wanted a medium true gray and I didn’t want to pay an arm and a leg for it or have to go “into the city” to find it. There are a ton of them out there already and mine would be subpar I’m sure. This has been around for some time now and that is why I am definitely not doing a tutorial for you. But it is an easy DIY and affordable so I went to work. So I figured I could just paint it! FYI- I really hate painting. His furniture is the same set we bought when he was born (can I get a hallelujah for convertible cribs?) and still works perfectly fine. So I decided something must be done! And it all started with objective #2: lighten up the dark accents. It made my mom OCD go crazy every time I passed his room. random rocks, two second art projects that he considers Van Gogh’s, last year’s birthday balloons and chuck-e-cheese trinkets) scattered EVERYWHERE. 😉 I literally snapped this photo out of the blue one day because this was my reality. Now, let’s remember that this is a judgement free blog.
