Funky Phone
Communicate with your friends and family in real style by giving a boring old phone a character all of its own. Valspar spray paints make it simple to create a fun design. You'll need an old phone, a selection of Valspar spray paints, then get creative. You don't need to be artistic to achieve fantastic results and once you've started you won't want to stop.
An old phone
Letter size paper (8 ½" X 11")
Scissors (or Craft Knife)
Pencil
Newspaper

Carefully strip down the phone by removing the base and buttons, clean thoroughly.
Place newspaper down to protect the area in which you are spraying. Now spray the phone with White Primer. Allow 45 minutes to dry.
To achieve the background color spray Gloss Yellow at one end of the phone and Metallic Gold at the other crossing over in the middle. Don't spray too close to the surface of the phone, this will help to blend the colors. Allow 45 minutes drying time.
Now you need to make a loose mask of your leopard spots. To do this take your letter size paper and draw a series of irregular spot shapes (make sure you've left enough surrounding paper to protect the phone as you spray). Carefully cut these small spot shapes out using pair of scissors or craft knife.
You then hold the paper roughly an inch above the surface (the closer you hold the paper to the phones surface the harder the edges) and spray the Flat Black through the loose mask. Practice this on some newspaper first as it will take a few goes to get it how you want it.
Once your phone is thoroughly dry put it back together and call some friends!
