I too Shall Learn How to Spraypaint!

I only popped into a thrift store briefly this weekend, and the pickings were meager (although my better half got himself another pair of downhill skis, so for once HE was happy I dragged him inside).

Anyway, I picked up these three pieces with the sole intention of trying my ways at spraypainting.  I love how several crafty and up-cycling bloggers seem to work so much magic just by spraypainting their rescues.  I too shall now attempt to make three swans out of three 99 cent ugly ducklings!

So, what do you think - should I spraypaint them all white or try some different colors?

I figure since I put the pictures up on my blog, I will actually commit to go through with my spraypainting plans.  Also, I got some inspiration from my son who painstakingly painted his little Pinewood Derby car this weekend, and then went on to win 2nd place in his pack!  Like son, like mother...

 

 

How often to you paint your finds?  Is it generally worth your time?  Any tips?
