How to make an organiser for spray paint cans

First, the surface of the beer crate must be cleaned thoroughly.  In this case as the surface is plastic that may be used or have been on the ground for a long time, it is best to use a little alcohol to remove any stubborn dirt. If you do not have alcohol on hand, you can use soap and water or whatever you prefer. Of course, you need to then make sure it is dry before painting.

Next, our blogger Ire chose as a base color chalk paint Pintyplus mint green color. With spray paint it is very easy to paint irregular surfaces with many small corners in a fast and very effective way. We waited 15 minutes for the paint to dry completely. Next, with the help of masking tape and plastic film, we cover parts of the box by drawing lines from top to bottom and following our own inspiration. Then we painted it with a different color in this case turquoise.

We repeat the process as many times as we want with our favorite colours.

Finally, we recommend applying Pintyplus varnish for chalk paint. It will help us to provide a finish to the paint, protecting it and getting a better resistance to humidity and weather.

How to paint plastic boxes

If you like shabby chic, Pintyplus chalk paint is your best option. You must bear in mind that the adherence of chalk paint on plastic is somewhat limited. For this reason, if you want to have good adhesion, we recommend applying a layer of primer for Pintyplus plastics.
