The next time you're about to throw a pitiful looking lamp to the curb, bring it back to life with a coat of Rust-Oleum® Painter’s Touch+ 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. Remove old lampshade from the lamp. Lightly scuff area of lamp body with sandpaper, wipe clean with a lint-free cloth, removing all dust. Tape off areas not to be painted with painter’s tape.
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 lamp to fully dry for 24 hours before handling. Remove the painter’s tape, attach lampshade and enjoy!
