An Iron Man MARVEL

By Ashley Greatness, Owner at Ashley Makes It in Mobile, AL.

This is my 1st commission! My customer tasked me with making his nightstand Iron Man Themed! 

Since this piece was wicker, I couldn’t paint it the traditional way, spray paint was the only way to go.

I primed it with Rust-Oleum’s Professional Enamel in white. I used Rust-Oleum’s Professional Enamel in red on the sides and tops of the nightstand. It dried quickly and I was able to cover the red parts with newspaper and painters tape so that the remainder of the piece could be painted yellow. I used Rust-Oleum’s Gloss Protective Enamel in yellow for this. I made a stencil of the Iron Man logo and used the primer to apply it to each of the drawers. My top coat of choice was the Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch Ultra Cover in Gloss Clear.

After that it was just new knobs, decoupaged comics on the side of the drawers, and a plexiglass top with MARVEL on it. The results were awesome! My customer was thrilled!
