Did you know you have to show ID to buy spray paint? I was previously unaware. I don't understand how that would stop anyone.
I dashed home after work to try and catch the last of the daylight, dragged the drawers outside, and gave each a nice interior coating. "Outside" means the sidewalk in front of my apartment building, a couple of yards away from passers by giving me strange looks and the local bus route rumbling along. Perhaps I went a little too far, because some unthinking whimsy caught me and I painted the sides silver as well.
After a couple of minutes I brought them inside and lined them up under the kitchen table to dry.
What have I learned: Even when you paint outside, the fumes will be very strong for a couple of hours, especially in a small apartment. Next time I spray paint I'm going to wait until the weekend and do it earlier in the day so I can let it dry outside longer. Also, spray paint is fun.
