Step 1: Select spray paint colors for the play kitchen set
Let your little one choose which COLORSHOT shades they want for their play kitchen set— this project uses Extra Guacamole for the base, paired with Treasure Chest, Lucky Penny, Silver Lining, and First Million for shiny metallic accents!
Step 2: Disassemble and prepare the play kitchen set for painting
Use a screwdriver to carefully disassemble your kids’ play kitchen, setting aside any screws for reassembly later. We recommend lightly sanding shiny surfaces and using COLORSHOT White Primer for maximum adhesion and color vibrancy. Use painter’s tape to cover any areas of the play kitchen set that you don’t want painted. Make sure all components are clean, dry, and free of dust or debris before painting. Lay the pieces of the play kitchen set out on a drop cloth in a well-ventilated area to protect the surrounding area from overspray.
Step 3: Apply spray paint to the play kitchen set
Shake the can of spray paint well and apply to your project in smooth, even strokes. Allow the paint to dry to the touch before applying additional coats as desired. This project uses COLORSHOT in Extra Guacamole to give the kids’ play kitchen a beautiful green base!
Repeat this process to paint the rest of your play kitchen set. The legs and hardware, such as the stovetop, faucet, handles, knobs, and buttons, of the play kitchen set get a luxurious new look with COLORSHOT in Treasure Chest. This dark gold metallic shade creates an elegant contrast with the olive green base!
The play ice and water dispensers get painted with COLORSHOT in Silver Lining for a cool metallic makeover. Its shiny silver finish adds a realistic touch to any play kitchen set, making it look modern and stylish!
The tea light chandelier uses COLORSHOT in Lucky Penny to create a sleek metallic copper color. This extra piece of kitchen décor makes a kids’ play kitchen feel like the real thing— and it’s a stylish focal point that complements any play kitchen set!
Finally, a set of matching photo frames are made with the COLORSHOT metallic spray paint shades: Treasure Chest, Lucky Penny, Silver Lining, and First Million. Once you’re satisfied with the spray paint coverage on all your play kitchen set pieces, allow the paint to cure completely for 24 hours. For extra durability and long-lasting protection, finish your kids’ play kitchen projects COLORSHOT Clear Sealer in Gloss or Matte.
Step 4: Reassemble and display the kids’ play kitchen set!
After your spray painted project has cured completely, reassemble the pieces and display your kids’ play kitchen! For an extra realistic touch, the counter and backsplash of this play kitchen set is wrapped with white marble contact paper.
Insert art or photos in the spray painted frames to personalize your kids’ play kitchen experience! Use a mounting putty to arrange the frames on the fridge as desired.
Add some battery-powered flameless tea lights to the spray painted chandelier and hang it on a wall hook above the sink to create an authentic kitchen ambiance.
Customize your kids’ play kitchen with even more kid-friendly details like fake food, kitchenware, and plants. Sit back and watch as your little one enjoys their new play kitchen set!
