adventures in spray painting

it's official.
there's a new love in my life.
i broke up with krylon and have now fallen head over heals for valspar.

i have been using krylon for years because it was at wal-mart {convenient since i'm shopping there anyway} and a good price.
well, i have switched and i won't be going back.

this valspar is soooo much better.
it's way less drippy and took less coats for really good coverage.
i'm a fan.
it's only about a dollar more so it's def worth it to me.

i think i've finally settled on the color for ruby's high chair.
when i bought it, it was natural wood but i knew i would paint it.

last month i painted it a pale aqua that i had on hand, but it just wasn't doing it for me. 

i went to lowe's and picked up valspar's tropical oasis gloss spray paint.

i think i did 3 light and even coats on a sunny, non-windy day {waiting at least 5 min in between coats}.

i am letting it cure for a couple of days before ruby uses it, but i am so happy with it!

i love the saturated pop of color.

i love the high shine and easy wipeability of the gloss.

now i want to find more things to spray paint!

i feel more confident to try bigger projects now that i know how good valspar is. :)

what about y'all? do you have a favorite brand of spray paint?
