What You Will Need

  • Plastic containers from the dollar store
  • Spray paint color of your choice make sure it can be used on plastic!

Instructions

  • Clean each bin and remove any labels or stickers before painting. Be sure to spray paint in a well-ventilated area, preferably outside.
  • If you are covering up a darker color, start with a coat of white spray paint. Spray paint bins inside and out for a more finished look. You will likely need at least two coats, depending on the color.
  • Allow the bins to dry according to the label instructions between coats.
  • Then, spray on the metallic spray paint on the inside and out to finish off the bins. Multiple coats may be necessary for complete coverage
  • Allow your bins to dry and cure for at least 24 – 48 hours once completed. This ensures that the spray paint is ready for the contents that you are going to add.
