LooK What a LiTTle Paint CaN Do

I found this not so cute crown while I was junk shopping one day. I hate the finish but LoVE the shape. I actually loved it because it reminded me of my friend Heidi and I needed a Christmas present for her. 

It was 80% off, Shhhhh, don't tell Heidi. Just kidding, I already told her....I had to. She is one of my junk shopping buddies and it was too good to leave out.

So, I got it but had to do something about that finish. This is what I did:

primed her with Kilz Original Spray Primer

This is my hands down favorite primer. It usually only takes one coat and seals everything in. 

painted her with Krylon Spray Paint
K, I have to say that I really don't like Krylon spray paint but they do have my color of white in a spray can so sometimes I have to use it. My favorite color of white in Krylon is Dover White. It's not white white and it's not antique white, it's just right in between. If you are going to use this paint, get the Fusion for Plastic version of spray paint. Believe me, it's worth the extra money.

distressed her with 220 grit sandpaper
This will give a rubbed off look. If your sandpaper is too rough it will give it a scraped look, which I like sometimes, but not this time. Also, I always try to sand where I think paint would really rub off from years of use.

sealed her all up with 
RUST-OLEUM Crystal Clear Enamel Spray
LoVE it! If I am using a spray sealer this is my go to. It usually only takes one coat and it really is crystal clear. It dries really fast too. If you can't already tell, I'm not very patient.
