Step-by-step

Step 1
Before you start, make sure the items are clean, dry and free from grease. There are no other preparations to be done so you can just go ahead!

Step 2
Now you can start painting your item – mini desktop drawers, for example – in your chosen colour from the edding Permanent Spray range. Always spray with both horizontal and vertical strokes at a distance of approx. 25 cm to achieve an even surface finish.

Step 3
Keep the individual drawers and the outer separate until the paint is completely dry. Once re-assembled, the container (like the cardboard paper organiser shown here) will be a great help in keeping your child's bedroom nice and tidy.
