If you have followed my blog for all of 3 seconds, you know that I love me some spray paint! I had never even used it until about 2 years ago, to be truthful…but once I started, I became obsessed. It is amazing all that you can transform so easily with just a little ole can of spray paint! And let me tell you, some of the makeovers, you would NEVER believe was done with spray paint. The makeover I am bringing to you today is one of them.
You see, I really do like chickens. I think they are cute and farm housey…but I don’t like those old fashioned ones that have random colors. Maybe I am weird? I probably am. I really just wanted a plain white one that would match anything, but the only ones I could find were rather pricey for my non existent home decor budget I am on these days.
Well, I decided to get creative so that I could get one for my kitchen. I found this bad boy for $1! It was large and had really pretty form. It wasn’t ugly, but it was slightly chipped and was not what I was going for.

I decided to use a glossy white spray paint on this.
THIS is the paint I used:
This was after 1 coat. You will think- YIKES, this is not covering. It does take about 3 good coats to completely cover. Be sure to use light, even coats as to prevent running.
After I had let each coat dry and got about 3 good coats on, my chicken was beautifully glossy and ready to hit the kitchen!
Here it is NOW! I love it! Would you EVER guess this was spray painted???
Here is another BEFORE and AFTER just to see how crazy it is!
I am telling y’all…SPRAY PAINT is where it’s at! Stock up for this spring and summer so you can paint everything you see.

Great job! I have a beautiful rooster about 3′ high that I have often thought of spraying white but have hesitated because the colors are so pretty. I think you have convinced me to go for the white?
HI Peggy…. I’m reading your comment over a year later but am curious if you did paint yours white? I have a colorful wood rooster about 2 1/2 feet tall, and would love to paint but am a little hesitant.. Thanks. Sandy
Super cool! I love the way it turned out!
That brings back some memories Brooke – years ago we renovated a Farmhouse and we had ‘all things farmhousey’ and I had one of these – how great does it look in white gloss – it looks ‘perfect’ now 🙂
Thank you, Denise!! 😀
Not a big chicken fan BUT I’m lovin’ me THAT chicken!! Pinned for later!! I, too, am a big fan of spray paint…seems that more and more colors seem to be on the market!!
Yes! Such a great idea! Not a fan of the original look of the chicken but, after…fantastic! Pinning & sharing 😀
