:hard rubbish:

You  just gotta love it when the hard rubbish flyer hits your mailbox.

Hard rubbish = great finds!

Eryn was in need of a new toy chest for her room. 

This one was hidden under a mountain of "stuff"

after some sanding............

and paint, here she is.

I am thinking I will make a little cushion seat thingy for the top.

I am so happy with how the paint job turned out. 

These are my 2 new painting best friends

I haven't used the Zinsser primer before but i do have to say it is pretty damn great.  It tells you that you don't have to pre sand but I did.

Adding the Penetrol to both the primer and the oil based paint helps eliminate brush strokes.  This really does work.  I added 15% Penetrol.  If you find that the brush strokes are still there just add a little more.

There are alternatives for water based paint if you prefer.

As this is a toy chest that will get a lot of wear I went for an oil based paint as I think they are more hardy.

I am heading back to the garage to add the last coat of paint to another hard rubbish find.

Happy Painting :-)
