Meet my new friends..2 birds and an owl. I like them:) I especially like that I got them at Savers for just a little $$. I don't especially like their color though, so...spray paint saves the day, yet again!
Supplies:
- 1 Can Heirloom White spray paint
- 1 set of gloves {for those of you like me who tend to get the paint ALL over yourself}. Totally not necessary to some, but totally necessary to me.
- If you're lucky enough the objects will already be wrapped in newspaper from the store {yes!!} but if not, some sort of surface to paint on
- 3 adorable objects
After 3 light coats to each and ample drying time here is the outcome:

Have you been doing any spray paint necessary projects lately? Put up your link so we can all check them out.

I like the ASCP but I don't get the coverage most people get. I've also had issues and had to prep on some items. I think it's a fine paint but I don't use ot exclusively. It's another tool in my box. automotive paint
