White Spray Paint

I am only putting this story on the blog because it is funny now. It wasn't funny when it happened.

There is this armoire that my mom gave me when I got married. It started out as a regular unpainted wooden armoire. After I got it, I painted it black. Then I decided it belonged in the baby's room and it needed to be green. The armoire came out so cute green. 

Once I got it in the nursery I decided that since it only had two drawers and three shelves, it would need baskets to help organize the baby's clothes. Surprisingly enough, finding the perfect baskets was a hard task, but I did find some bare baskets. They would need to be painted.

I added "Spray Paint Baskets" to Brett's pre-baby to do list. With school being so crazy and him working so many hours, eventually it made its way over to my to do list. So one afternoon, I went into the garage and spray painted my baskets white. 

Well, my only concern at the time was to make sure I left the garage door open while I painted the baskets, so it never did cross my mind that everything else in the garage would get my own special touch of white paint too. That included the car...

After I did one coat on the baskets, I left the house to run some errands. Came back for a second final coat. Left the house again, and upon returning I noticed the car. The first thing that crossed my mind was, WOW, the car got really dusty. I then tried to wipe the dust off, and then realized my giant oops. Long story short...

I panicked, tried to wash the car, called Brett, cleaned what I could off (the windows).

Brett came home... He realized that it was much more involved than he thought. I cried, Brett did some research. Eventually we got the car looking good again with some nail polish remover, and a very heavy coat of wax.

No pictures of this. I was too upset at the time.

Oops.
