The wagon remodel

After hunting for a wagon for a year, I found one at DI for the marked down price of $5!  It was in a little need of love.

I took the wheels off and gave it a very good sanding with my handy palm sander.  I got most of the rust off but it still was a little bumpy.

I sprayed the whole wagon with 2 coats of spray primer and waited between coats about an hour.

The next day I sprayed the wagon with glossy red spray paint.  I did several coats and let it dry for 2 hours between coats.

I also sprayed the handle black.

After everything was dry, I put it back together. 

Totally worth the 11 bucks!
