What You Need
Instructions
1. Start by Sanding
Start with your unfinished trays on a work surface. Use the sand paper to smooth out the surface as needed. When you’re finished, brush away any dust that’s left behind.
2. Gloss It and Prime It
Make sure the trays are in a well-ventilated area and break out your spray can. To save on time, we used a two-in-one gloss spray paint and primer. Simply coat all sides of each tray with the spray paint and set them aside to dry. You’re going to need to add a couple of coats to get a deep, rich color. Then let it dry thoroughly.
3. Paint the Brackets
Coat your brackets with metallic spray paint to give ’em an extra shine. Again, make sure you’re doing this in a well-ventilated area. When the hardware is coated, set it aside to dry.
4. Glue ‘Em Down
Use strong glue, such as E600, to secure the hardware to the corners of the trays. Once the glue is dry, feel free to de-clutter your space with your snazzy new trays!
