You'll need sandpaper, a dust mask or respirator, spray paint, and spray primer. First, sand down the old paint. Next, mask off areas you do not want to paint with tape. After that, spray on primer, following directions on can. Once the primer dries, spray the desired color paint onto the granny cart and allow to dry. Always follow directions on can and spray in a well ventilated area.

The skateboard one is probably the most orignal and the least cheesiest of them all. Ever wonder why grannie uses them? Cause you can carry everything in your arms!

Nice. I Like the flames :D I do the shopping for the whole family and I use a handtruck and three large movingboxes with straps to tie them on.
