Spray Painted Plant Stand

After a long winter my back patio looks so blah.  I've done some work in the front yard but the back yard is another story.  Even the previous owners thought the plant stand was in an awful condition, they left it here when they moved!

The paint on this poor little stand was chipping off and the metal was rusted.

I scraped of the paint and the rust with a wire brush.

Now, that it is all cleaned up, it's ready for some paint.

I used Rust-Oleum, American Accents in Satin Lagoon.  I've never tried this paint before.  I chose this paint for it's color and because it pictures a metal bench (note to marketers).

I even spray painted the plastic pot.

This was such a quick fix!  I was done in less than an hour!  The best part is my back patio is starting to look alive again.  Thank you spray paint.
