It is seriously GORGEOUS out today and if you know anything about me, you know I'm solar-powered. It's only 3:30 on Tuesday and I've already accomplished everything I was hoping to do outside for the whole WEEK! I even had time for a side project!
This little project was a spur of the moment thing. Marlee's tricycle was looking sad. It was covered in rust and as she put it, "Red is not my favorite." I love the new colors and so does she!
Here's how I did it:
First I threw down my designer drop cloth (true life: I ruined the designer bedspread that my mom got for me and it is now a dropcloth.) then I set up shop. Spray paint, sanding block, rag, painter's tape, screw driver and helper!
I peeled off all of the decals and random bits of tape and gave all the metal a good sanding. Then I taped off sections and spray painted. FYI- always start from the highest part and work your way down to avoid possible drips and/or splatter.
Goodbye rust!
This color was so perfect!
Gotta love instant gratification projects!
