Spray Paint, My Hero!

Actually, Doug is my hero - for doing all that painting that I didn't want to do!


He tackled the railing outside our back door. Here's what it looked like:

Rusto-matic

 He applied a rust inhibitor, and let it work for about an hour before washing it off with water. Then he primed it, let it dry, then painted it, and now it looks like this:

Beautiful, no-rust railing

It sounds like a lot of work. And this is why spray paint is my (actual) hero. It was about five minutes of taping to make sure the paint didn't get the cement, and five minutes for each application.


The hardest part is remembering that you're working on the job, since you have to take so many breaks to let things dry. But when it's done, it's a beauty!!!
