Sarah, of room for tuesday, used Rust-Oleum spray paint to transform her bedside table. After spraying the unit, she applied Rust-Oleum Triple Thick Glaze to give the bedside cabinet a high-gloss lacquer finish.
TOP TIP: Remove all hardware like knobs or handles - it will always look better than if you try to paint around them.
With Rust-Oleum 2X and Universal Metallic it's so easy to transform ordinary pieces into accent pieces for your home. Take a plain stepstool and apply Rust-Oleum 2X spray paint in your choice of colour and then add a decorative touch with Rust-Oleum Metallic.
TOP TIP: Fill any holes and sand down where necessary. When using Rust-Oleum 2X it's a primer and paint in one, so no need to apply a primer.

When you're browsing for bargains, don’t stop with furniture. You can use spray paint to transform decor accessories to add to your home decor. Choose a Rust-Oleum spray paint that complements your existing decor and creates a stand-out feature. You can even apply Rust-Oleum spray paint on plastic for an instant makeover.
TOP TIPS: To avoid unsightly drips and an uneven finish, apply 2 to 3 light coats of spray paint over the surface. Let each coat dry properly before applying the next coat, and allow pieces to fully dry before moving.
