    The Effects of Spray Paint Make Me Smile

    And no, it isn't because of the scent.

    A while back, I bought a cheap mirror from Ross. I also got 2 picture frames, both were $7, originally priced at $14 or so.

    One was pink, and the other was black. I hated the color of the pink one but bought it anyway because I liked the shapes on it better than the black. When shopping for home goods, one thing I’ve learned is that color can always be altered, hence today’s project.

    The weather here has been a little too cool to paint outdoors, even when it isn’t raining, but I caught a good day and took advantage.

    I used my spray paint adaptor which keeps my hands free of the paint, but I forgot to add it to the shot.

    This was the quickest paint project I’ve ever done. From the initial shaking of the paint can, through the end, it took under 10 minutes to finish both sides.

    These are wooden frames, but I’ve found that using the plastic paint only makes them glossier…which is what I wanted. (Plus it was the only black I had on hand.)

    I like it better in black. What do you think?
