Quick & Easy Shower Caddy Re-do

on February 21, 2012

I’ve recently discovered that my lovely “chrome” finish shower caddy was showing signs of rust! Granted, I did get it from Ross for $5.99, but hey – its functional and at a GREAT price point for a nearly broke young adult like me :) I considered just tossing it and going to buy a new caddy with a better non-rustable finish but then I thought – why don’t I just pray paint it? I already had spray paint (for a future project that’s in progress :) ) So I brought my rusted shower caddy and spray paint over to my parents’ house because they have a backyard that is very conducive for spray painting!

My poor rusted shower caddy :(

Then the spray painting began! Now, this was my first time ever spray painting ANYTHING and I have to say – spray painting is a lot of fun! But the fumes are definitely killer!

All the rust is gone!

All done!

This turned out to be an all afternoon project. I had to wait until the paint dried so I could spray the back and then I did a second layer. I used Rustoleum’s Brilliant Blue :)
