Refreshing Thrifted Scones

A simple way to refresh smaller metal thrifts is to give them a fresh coat of color. Sconces are perfect to add ambiance to your environment and a great way to highlight your wall décor.

Supplies:

·       Spray paint primer

·       Spray paint color of choice

·       Spray paint sealant

Step-by-step:

1.       Find your metal piece you want to refresh.

2.       Give her a wipe down! Those thrifted items always love to hold on to dust which you want to avoid for a smooth application.

3.       Prime. You don’t always need to prime since most spray paints are made with primer but it is always a god idea when you are working with a piece with uneven or multiple colors on it already to achieve an even end result. In this case we chose to prime to get a bright and even color in the end.

4.       Paint your project! Take your time and do one side at a time, get all the angles, let it fully dry and decide if it needs a second coat.

5.       Seal your piece. The best step and the final step. After your paint has fully dried, go ahead and spray a coat of sealant. This ensures that your piece is further protected from chipping, UV damage and gets rid of any tackiness the paint could have left behind.
