Recently my grandfather moved out of his condo to a senior living center. I inherited a few items he didn’t want to take with him including this mildly rusty metal kitchen cart.
I had the opportunity to test out a new to me product in the process of readying the cart for use in my craft room. I’m not going to lie, I did think these Sandflex Flexible Abrasive Blocks from Rockler would work for the wood furniture I typically work on but upon arrival and reading the full description it seemed like I misunderstood how they should/could be used. No worries! I had a rusty metal project to work on and I’m still curious to test them out on our stainless sink and car tires!!
The blocks cleaned up the cart quite nicely and then I gave it a few coats of spray paint to make it good as new.
If you’re curious to see my full product review, progress shots, and information on the specific paints I used to achieve a smooth glossy finish, stop over and visit me at The DIY Club.

super cute! i have a meta rolling cart in my kitchen- so handy!
awe the beauty of spray paint!
🙂 I don't always have the best time with spray paint but the primer was excellent. I did waste an entire bottle of the glossy spray paint because it was a smidge too hot when I applied it. It pretty much turned to powder and a lot of it just brushed right off!
It looks really nice! What a lovely and perfect finish. I love these little carts!
What a fabulous find! I've had my eye open for one but no luck yet! It's perfect for your crafting stuff! Hope your weekend has been great!

This was my grandfather's! I was happy to take it when he was downsizing. It's perfect to wheel around craft supplies/equipment.
