DIY Galvanized Tubs From the Dollar Store
$5
Easy
I love the look of vintage items. One thing I always wanted for a backyard party is a big galvanized tube. Then, I was the dollar store and saw something I could make look like one.
These plastic bins were just $1/each and I knew with a bit of spray paint, I could make them look like galvanized tubs!
I grabbed a couple and found the perfect spray paint to give it the look of galvanized tubs. Nobody had a clue these were originally plastic totes. They even sweat like the real thing!

Hi Kitty, It is Rustoleum Hammered spray paint. It was the one that works on surfaces, including plastic.

Have a question about this project?
please tell me what the paint is. My computer freezes up when I try to link to other websites so it is very cumbersome to read your blog. thanks

I can't view your blog either. Do you have to prep the container or just spray paint it and how many coats?
Here is a short version of what you need to know: I picked up some metallic spray paint in a “hammered” texture. I put one coat on and then let them dry overnight. The next day, I put a second coat on and let them dry overnight again. Then, they were ready for use.
