I got the first coat of the Red on and an am lovin' it! This project is a long one but so far I am happy with the outcome so far. I spend a few hours yesterday putting it all back together with Nate and put the final coat of paint on. Now to work on the next step of the garage makeover. I will not be posting the lockers put together until the entire project is complete so stay tuned and have a wonderful day. ;)

I went through 4 cans of primer and still have a lot left to go. Apparently I underestimated how much I was going to need. So I guess it's back to Menard's to buy more paint. Ugh. This is going to take forever but at least the lockers will look good hopefully. And since I was heading to Menard's I decided I was going to change my color choice...not a huge change but the Candy Apple Red was just too bright so I returned the eight cans I hadn't used and bought 10 Colonial Red cans...no more changes (I say to myself, as if I would listen, ha!) And got 4 more cans of primer so far one set of three lockers used 7 cans of primer. I'm thinking the other set may not get a redo.
ooh, I like red. Why didn't you buy some paint with primer built in?? Too 'spensive?
ReplyDeleteI used primer because of the rust coverage.. they had a few bad spots that I had to sand down and scrape so a primer was the best for coverage and rust protection, so I'm told.
ReplyDeleteyikes! that's alotta paint!
ReplyDeletewhat are the lockers for?
The lockers are for my attached garage (see Garage Entry Organization Project post) for boots, coats, etc.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah Hannah and the paint I bought was on sale that's why I didn't do a primer/paint all in one.
