Latest edition of the ALLSPRAYPAINTED Magazine issue 03! As 2020 ended and 2021 rolls in, we need to remind ourselves that we have grown. Not only as individuals but as a global community. In the last 12 months, we have realized more than at any time in recent history, that we are all connected. And not just via the internet! We have overcome fear and we have conquered our biggest challenges even though the road ahead is still a hard one. And for those of us that managed to keep our chins up and our spirits high through all of it, we had time to rediscover the source of our own creativity! www.allspraypainted.com

Bar Cart Makeover<br />
66<br />
Your cart is spotless and colored. You’ve fixed the<br />
problem of missing bottom trays with acrylic, plastic,<br />
glass, or wood. And you have now decided to join us<br />
for the addition of a display tray to put the icing on<br />
the cake. We chose a wooden tray which was already<br />
smooth and clean. If yours isn’t, give it a light sand<br />
and a clean. Using our Montana Universal<br />
PRIMER, we then sprayed the tray completely to seal<br />
it. Once dry, we sprayed one side in one color and<br />
left this to dry. We then took our masking tape and<br />
stuck a piece of paper over the painted side, applying<br />
another color to the remaining exposed side. We<br />
removed the masking tape and paper about 2 minutes<br />
later. This was left overnight to dry and cure<br />
completely.<br />
Finally, we applied the Montana VARNISH coat<br />
to seal the surface in the finish we desired, and also<br />
protect it from liquids. After all, a bar cart is essentially<br />
a bar on wheels isn’t it. A few days later, you’re<br />
sitting in front of your new-look bar cart with gin and<br />
tonic in hand, thinking of how cool it now looks and<br />
how much fun it was to make!<br />
This project is a multi-leveled project. If you just<br />
need to paint the cart, then it’s an easy to medium level<br />
affair. The challenge is thorough preparation and<br />
cleaning. And possibly taking pieces off and putting<br />
them on again. If you need to create or source missing<br />
trays, it becomes harder, subject to your expectations.<br />
And if you’re adding a display tray as we did, it’s<br />
not any harder but requires more time. All in all, allow<br />
yourself at least 1-2 weeks to complete the project.<br />
We did it over the period of a month, which had the<br />
benefit of everything drying at least one night before<br />
the next product was applied. And we chose to scrub<br />
that metal THOROUGHLY to avoid rust returning. But<br />
have no fear, you can do it! Happy Crafting.<br />
