Prop your shelves up in style by painting ordinary shelf brackets with a bold metallic blue spray paint. It makes a bold statement in do-it-yourself style.
- Set up in a well-ventilated area, such as a garage or outdoor patio.
- Place your shelf brackets in the box so they aren't touch each other and there is enough space around them for spray paint to stick.
- Shake the can of paint for about 1 minute after you hear the mixing ball rattle. This ensures your paint is thoroughly mixed.
- Start spraying the paint in a light coat about 10"-16" from the surface. It's a good idea to slightly overlap each stroke for an even-looking appearance and apply more than one coat a few minutes apart.
- Let this side of the shelf brackets dry for 30 minutes, flip them over and spray paint the other side the same way.
- Allow this side of the shelf brackets to dry for 30 minutes before putting them to use. You'll have a brilliant metallic finish for your room that will last a long time to come!
Tip: Use a cardboard box as a mini spray booth!
