Meet Darrell

If you're on Pinterest or if you check out sites like Apartment Therapy, you've probably noticed the trend of spray painting random crap to make it interesting.

I spray painted something pretty random and craptastic.

Remember Darrell?

My new $5 friend?

Well he met a can of $5 Krylon spray paint in Bahama Sea (probably one of my favourite colours ever) and now he looks like this...

Not bad, right?

I started out by roughing him up a bit with some wadded up tin foil since I didn't have any steel wool.  The roughing up was all consensual though.  Then wiped him down with vinegar and water.  This time I actually did things the right way and used a spray primer first, then hit him with the Bahama Sea.

Looking at it now, I probably should have filled that crack beforehand, but I didn't notice it before.  Plus, I was kind of excited to get him painted.

Sorry about the crappy pictures - I took them at like 10:30 in my bathroom so I could get the post up for today.  He's not going to live in the bathroom, but I already had a hook there, so I just went with it.  Actually he won't live in the bathroom because I want to paint it basically that same colour.  Anyway, sorry for the crappy pictures, but I have a crappy camera.  One day I'll get a better camera and start being a pretentious hipster who takes artsy pictures of their freshly folded laundry and you'll all wish I had my crappy camera back.

Anyway, that's Darrell.  I loves him.  What do you think?
