(The front, upper, and side lips of the drawer face-- does that make sense??). Get a little closer when spraying those areas and be very controlled in yours sprays as to not make a mess of the inside. Spraying is easy and fast, but there is definitely an art to it ;) <br />I really hope this helps!! Please let me know how it turns out :). :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818005132643812657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-718888854062812560.post-78297770680399187892013-10-24T09:01:34.005-05:002013-10-24T09:01:34.005-05:00Love this!

Do you only paint the front/visible parts of the dresser or do you spraypaint the sides of the drawers too so that when you pull it out, you see green on the side of the drawers as well? What about the insides, are those brown? How did you get the spraypaint to not hit the inside, do you tape/cover? Thanks, I want to try something like this out, but don't want to make a mess of the dresser and I'm not sure exactly what parts to spray!

(Does that make sense?) I probably spray waaaay more than necessary, but I want to ensure that my surfaces are smooth! {So where most people may use 2 cans for a project, I'll use 2 1/2 to 3. I spray til I like it}<br /><br />I REALLY hope this helps you!

I've been battling my bedroom furniture with MULTIPLE CANS of spray paint, sanding, priming, spraying, resanding, etc etc etc!<br /><br /><br />Everything looks good EXCEPT my headboard and the tops and sides of the dresser... it just looks streaky! How on earth did the top of your dresser come out so perfect and smooth looking.

So much faster than a brush. I recently painted a laminate bookcase, tried oilbase primer which turned out like crap. I reverted back to my trusty Rustoleum primer and then went to town with Rustoleum "Eden" satin finsh. LOVE that color, it is green too , but a more subdued version. Green,aqua,plum and gray are my new fave colors.<br /><br />I have had a love affair with Valspar spray paint in the past, however I do NOT like the new spray nozzle design. I do not have enough strength in my index finger to continually use it, have to use my thumb and that takes two hands on the can. Weird!!<br /><br />I do love the brass hardware, makes it look classy!oliveoyl64https://www.blogger.com/profile/08043694366488352015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-718888854062812560.post-780725217969614512012-07-17T09:16:25.779-05:002012-07-17T09:16:25.779-05:00I love it, too!
