Give your outdated wooden shelves a modern look with a coat of Rust-Oleum® Painter’s Touch+ Grey Mist spray paint!
STEPS
1. PREPARE: Always work in a well-ventilated area. Cover the ground and any nearby items with a drop cloth to protect from spray mist. Lightly sand the wooden surface of the shelves to rough them up. Wipe clean with a damp lint-free cloth and let dry. Priming is especially recommended for bare wood, use Painter’s Touch+ Primer for superior adhesion.
2. PAINT: Shake can for 1 minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. Hold the can 25-40cm from the surface and spray in a steady back and forth motion, slightly overlapping with each stroke. For best results, while spraying, keep the can the same distance from the surface and keep the can in motion. Apply several light coats a few minutes apart.
3. FINISH: Allow the shelves to fully dry for 24 hours before handling.
