Wall mounted whiteboard pen holder

Step 4 Painting

Once the holder was assembled I then spray painted it, first with a coat of grey primer, then once that had dried a few coats of black paint and finally once that had dried a protective coat of clear varnish.

As the paint is unlikely to be scratched or chipped from underneath I only applied the varnish to the top and sides.

I used "Hycote" acrylic based paint which is intended for spraying car bodywork, but works just as well on plastic.
