Oí la palabra rosa para este Pantone Challenge y sabía por dónde tirar. Tenía una asignatura pendiente. Hace un par de años cuando me mudé a mi apartamento había un viejo espejo de plástico azul que quería pintar rosa flúor pero me quedo marrón :-(. Una cosa tenía clara, esta vez lo iba a conseguir!Tardé más de lo esperado en encontrar un objeto el cuál poder esprayar a gusto. Un mueble me parecía poco acertado y no tenía otro espejo disponible. Cuando vi estas bobinas de cartón duro pensé que estaría muy bien reciclarlas. Me las llevé y manos a la obra...
When I listened to the word pink for this Pantone Challenge I knew where to shoot. I had a pending issue. A couple of years ago when I moved into my apartment I had an old blue plastic mirror which I wanted to paint neon pink but I end up with a brownish one :-(. One thing was clear to me, this time I was going to get it!It took longer than expected to find a suitable object to spray. I thought that a furniture was unwise and I had no other mirror available. When I saw these cardboard reels I thought that recycling them it would be a good idea. I took them and get to work ...
1) Primero lo pinté de blanco para obtener una base neutra dónde aplicar el rosa.

2) Cubrí la zona interior con cinta adhesiva protectora para mantener la parte interior blanca. No nos engañemos todo rosa flúor es un poco demasiado para ponerlo en casa.
2) Secodly, I covered the inside area to keep it white with masking tape. I think that the entire reel neon pink is a bit too much to put it at home.

3) Una vez seca la parte blanca. Pinte la parte exterior de rosa.
3) Once the white part was dry. I painted the outside in pink.

Mi idea era hacer unas bonitas estanterías. Pero dónde ponerlas? Y a mi hermana le gusto tanto la idea que han quedado adjudicadas para la habitación de mi sobrina Arlet!
Consejos Prácticos: Pintar con espray puede ser a veces bastante más caro que con pintura. La verdad es que gasté 3 botes de blanco. Pero el rosa me ha durado para todas las bobinas y aún me sobra. El mecanismo es distinto y se reparte mucho mejor. Recomiendo esta marca que no conocía y me ha funcionado muy bien.
My idea was to make some nice shelves. But where to put them? My sister liked the idea so much that she has used them to decorated my niece´s room.
Tips: Painting with spray can sometimes be far more expensive than standard paint. The truth is that I spent quite a lot of money - three white sprays-. But pink has lasted me for all coils and even spare me. The mechanism is different and the paint is distributed much better. I recommend this brand that I did not know and it has worked very well.
