Ikea Hack Project - Day 2

Coloring Result of the two doors

First off Happy Thanksgiving!! I hope everyone enjoyed a nice Turkey dinner with their family & friends. Even though today was a holiday I am sure there are those working hard on their projects as we speak. Today I finally finished sanding the drawer and finished painting the doors. The first attempt failed and I had to sand off the paint and re-paint it again layer by layer. So far the color of the paint is pretty nice so I think I will go to Rona tomorrow again to buy can or two.


First layer of spray painting
Tip: spray multiple layers, instead of one single layer

Drying the paint - after 3-4 of thin layers of paint

For safety reasons I bought my self some Degil Masks to prevent me from inhaling all the dust from the sanding and the chemical fumes from the spray paint. I know that the mask is not strong enough for the chemical fumes, but as some know I am poor and if I need to breath I run outside to get some fresh air. Still works fine.
