Post 27: In case you haven't noticed...lots of types of spray paint out there now.....sharing them and other new/amazing/unusual "sprucing up" items with you!

In case you haven't noticed...lots of types of spray paint out there now.....thought I would share some of them along with other "sprucing up items"  since it is a good time of year for sprucing up this or that around the house/garden/yard.....I know I am trying to get everything finished outside now and then when it gets "hot as blue blazes" ( for those of you not from the South that means super duper hot!) I will work inside on this or that in the blessed air conditioning! That is my method.....here is a tip for you....Any job is made harder in 90-100 degree weather with sweat running off you versus doing it in the comfort of your air conditioned home/office/garage/car!! So look over these paint types ( nothing easier than spray paint.....I mean really!) and look around your house/garden/office and I bet you will find at least one something that could use a little bit of pizzazz or sprucing up! Enjoy!--Tips


Kilz is a great coverup but this has paint and primer in one spray can....can't beat this....and it says indoor and outdoor...the only thing it won't do apparently is drive you to the store and pay for more! :)

This spray paint is not only for PLASTIC but it is a HAMMERED finish ( image hitting something over and over with a hammer leaving a little indentation everytime.....think multiple hexagons or whatever...look it up in a search engine if you are still confused which with me at the helm I don't doubt it :))


This is the normal spray paint for plastic items....have yet to use it but have been dreaming of using it for awhile now....think of those boring plastic chairs for the yard that only come in beige....it isn't cheap last time I checked.....$4 or so a can.....but buying a new chair isn't cheap either! :)


This might be a repost but worth repeating....this is a colored stain for wood that you wipe on...Just as easy as spray painting .....where oh where have you been all my life? :)



This is a wood stain you wipe on....almost as easy as spray paint so including it as well.


Now these three are for the creative types....they transform your wall into a dry erase board, a chalk board or a magnetic surface! Whatever you do next is up to you!Millions of ideas come to mind! How fun is that! Every parent or teacher should keep this in mind!


Now this paint is meant for items that deal with high heat.... like the grill that needs sprucing up or whatever.....


This is for the next time the wife is mad at you...haha....if I have to explain this to you you are not from SC and you don't drive a four wheeler and go muddin' with a deer rack in the back! (All this said in jest....I am partial to country folk myself...dated a guy from Alabama once just to hear him talk! Country people can teach you all kinds of wisdom....don't kid yourself they know how to survive!)


 Now I have yet to try it but it is ceiling paint that goes on pink and dries white so you can see what you are doing I suppose! ( ever tried cutting in a ceiling....nightmare! You get paint on the wall then back on the ceiling then back on the wall and on it goes til you say to yourself "nobody will ever look up there" and you walk away and then it bugs you EVERY SINGLE time you look up at the ceiling! ....haha


Which leads us to this lovely invention known as the edger....it keeps you from painting the ceiling then repainting the wall then repainting the ceiling,etc....in other words, it cuts in for you and keeps you from having a total hissy fit and saying " nobody will ever look up there" when only half the ceiling or wall is repainted :)....Seriously, worth every penny! Just tuck in the corner  between ceiling and wall and wipe and done. Like Superman for painters! :)



What does this have to do with painting? Not much....but it is a window wash so it is under the sprucing up category as well.....this is for when you hire a maid (yeah right!)that says " I don't do windows" and you have to get your fanny out there and do them yourself! Looks like you attach it to a hose....you can imagine you are doing evil things to the maid who refused to do the windows in the first place :)

Back to spray cans....this is polyurethane and stain in one step....looks like it turns that boring wood table into a nice shiny black gloss surface....my kinda deal! :)

I always heard use mayonnaise and a mixture of cigarette ashes but look that one up! This would be easier most likely! Removes water marks and light scratches easily  it claims!


Old hardwood floor cleaner and reviver.....you can see what it says it does.....hopefully it works...if nothing else the floor will look a little bit better and they usually smell pretty good too!


Now this I want to try....spray it on back of glass and it becomes a mirror!....Can you imagine the things you could turn into a reflective surface? I think this is really cool!

Have you seen duct tape lately? Duct tape can be used for all kinds of things and is tough and waterproof and now it is DECORATIVE as well....what more could you ask for?....seen in Walmart
