Instagrammer project: Rusty table makeover with PlastiKote spray paint

SPIadmin

We love how Instagrammer @alljanesthings uses her makeover skills. This is probably one of our favourite tables and the transformation is quite spectacular. Jane explains: I bought this table which has the ‘rust’ look which I hate but I loved the table. I bought PlastiKote Rust Not as I used that on all my wrought iron furniture which was green and rusted and it’s held beautifully.

Here’s the table before the makeover.

When working with rusty objects our customer services team recommends getting as much of the rust off as possible with a wire brush, then wash with warm soapy water to remove any dirt and grease. No primer is needed with Rust Not. Once thoroughly dry, you can apply spray paint following instructions on the can.

As you can see, it worked beautifully. We want one too!

Top tip: seeing in the dark with PlastiKote spray paint

SPIadmin

PlastiKote’s new Glow in the Dark spray paint is fantastic for helping to find the light switch or keeping a low light in a room to help children get off to sleep. It works on rough or smooth surfaces and glows for up to five hours after exposure to light.

Use it this Halloween to make ghoulish figures come alive or spray your pumpkins for an after-dark glow! Other ideas for usage include stencilling on ceilings and walls, lamp bases, door frames, parking posts, garages and party decorations.
