    Use spray paint to instantly make over old accessories or change ho-hum surfaces into something special.

    Textured spray paints are especially fun, totally changing the look of a piece with fool-the-eye finishes of faux metal, stone or leather. Make a terra-cotta pot look like stone with quick spray of textured stone-finish paint (figure A), or change a papier-mache box into hammered metal with metallic spray paint (figure B).

    Give a wooden piece the look of leather with suede-finish spray paint, or use crackle-effect paint to impart an aged, peeling-paint look (figure C).

    Turn any surface into a chalkboard with chalkboard-in-a-can (figure D). Imagine the possibilities for kids' rooms and kitchens.

    Rescue stained stove-burner liners with a spray-painted finish that looks great and resists high heat (figure E), or change the color of a vinyl cushion with specialty paint that leaves the vinyl surprisingly soft (figure F).
