Rust-oleum Spray Paint

Here is what the can looks like for anyone
who is curious!
I have a bunch of organizers for my new classroom that are pretty blah, they were all different colors and didn't match each other.  To make everything look more cohesive I decided to try my hand at spray painting.  I have never spray painted anything in my life but both of these projects were super easy.  I had a hard time choosing between green and blue so, I bought one of each color.  It was also nice because the paint is paint and primer in one, and bonds to plastic!

1.  I sprayed everything off with a hose and let them dry outside.
2.  I laid down lots of newspaper to protect the floor in the garage so I didn't get paint everywhere.
3.  Then I set off to work, I just followed the directions on the can (basically point and spray the items you want to paint, slightly overlapping the rows.





Here is what they looked like before I started.





Here is how both of them turned out.  I love the colors!  Too bad my room is maroon and they won't match too well.  Oh well, something bright and cheery to lighten up the space!  The biggest hint I have is definitely follow drying instructions and don't get too anxious to paint the other side.
