If you're looking for easy DIY projects for your home, this might be it! Make colors pop when you add a spray painted gray end table to your home décor. 

Lightly sand your unfinished end table and remove sanding residue with a lint-free cloth. Sanding removes rough spots, but also allows better paint adhesion. Set your table on a drop cloth and make sure your area is well ventilated and safe from overspray.

Spray light strokes of paint onto your table, overlapping strokes as you go, and following the directions on the can for best results. A first coat will be dry to the touch in 2-4 hours. The last coat of paint should dry for at least 5 hours before handling and fully cured for 24 hours before full use.

If a second coat is needed, apply it within 1 hour or after 48 hours. 

Tip: We recommend 2X Ultra Cover Primer in White as a base coat. Follow the directions on the can for best results.
