    a little Mammut Makeover…

    The resident super hero and I have a couple of Mammut chairs. They’re nice and sturdy plastic things that are easy to wipe down and keep clean. One is red.

    The other, green.

    But neither color is quite right for Matt’s new bedroom scheme. I like the shape of these chairs and the durability, so rather than replace them, I just decided to just paint them.

    I took this

    and turned red and green into black. (That isn’t a scowl btw, that’s his serious face of supreme approval.)

    I only primed the red one, as I wanted to see whether or not it made any difference over the long run, so as time goes on, we shall see how the paint holds up.

    Overall, I’m pleased. They are quite a bit shiner than I expected, but hopefully it’ll become more matte as the paint completely dries.

    That’s all for now, so goodbye until next time.
