Spray Paint is Hard

Today I found out that spray paint is hard.

In the (one) small area it has gone on well. But in the big expanse area - which most of the lockers will be - it is really hard to do well.

The angles are awkward, being small little locker cubbies. you can't get 12-18" away. It's hard to spray in even strokes when you're running into walls. It's hard even when I'm not running into walls.

I thought enough coats of blotchy might magically add up to an even looking finish. But no.

Plus, it's taking a lot more cans of paint than I thought. Maybe because the bottom was so rough, even after sanding and wiping down. Maybe because the trendy colors cover less per can than ugly colors? I've never tried to spray paint anything big, but it turns out 25 square feet isn't very big.

So ...

it's hard.

I really hope they don't look horrible when I'm done.

I took the whole herd out to buy more yellow paint, when I realized one can was far from enough. I forgot to buy blue painter tape. Which I guess is okay because I think I have some around here. But now I have to look and see where I might have put it. I'm sure I put it somewhere that seemed logical at the time. Which might be harder than the painting itself.

We'll see.
