Give your home office file cabinet a makeover. Just a few coats of 2X Ultra Cover Gloss spray paint are all it makes to make your existing furniture look brand new.
Step 1: Choose an outdoor space or well-ventilated area such as an open garage. Cover surrounding areas with a drop cloth to protect from spray mist. Shake your spray paint can vigorously for one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle.
Step 2: Hold your can of Rust-Oleum 2X Ultra Cover Spray Paint (we used Gloss Spring Green) 10-16" from surface and apply to your filing cabinet in a steady, back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Keep the can in motion and the same distance from the cabinet while spraying. Apply two or more light coats a few minutes apart to avoid drips and runs.
Step 3: Let the spray paint dry for 24 hours.
TIP: Apply a topcoat of Rust-Oleum 2X Ultra Cover Clear for a longer-lasting finish.
