Materials: Rust-olem plastic primer
Krylon (my spray paint brand of choice) Top is Grape bottom is Watermelon
scotch blue painters tape
black n decker palm sander
Spackle (not really needed)
xacto knife
stencils
Various colors paint pens
Krylon fusion for plastics clear uv protection
Step 1: I covered the Coleman with Spackle and let it dry over night.
Step 2: Give it a roughing up with the sander wiped it off with a damp cloth and then lightly covered it with Plastic primer. Don't you just love all the paint it left on my fingers. Let dry for about an hour.
Step 3: I sprayed the top with Krylon Grape. Painted the bottom with Krylon Watermelon. I taped the back where the handle goes. That remained black but the handle itself I painted grape. I let this sit overnight to dry.
Step 4: Taped the stripes off and gave the top a coat of watermelon. Let it dry about 2 hours.
Step 5: I printed the H off from my computer. You can do this anyway you want but I looked for a monogram H in a google image search. Then cut using a xacto knife it out to make a stencil I traced the H with a paint pen and then filled it in. As it was drying I used a circle stencil on the base using lavender, lime, tangerine, and blue. I bought a variety pack of paint pens.
I still need to cover it with the Krylon Fushion UV protection. I want to let it sit overnight to dry once again.
I'm working on Greg a Dale Earnhardt cooler I'm hoping to have it done soon.
