Vintage Cosco Cart Makeover


Hello, so glad you dropped by today! Have you noticed these Vintage carts at antique shops? When Youngest Daughter recently moved, I inherited the one she found at a thrift store and used on her patio. As you can see, it was pretty grimy when I got my hands on it but it just needed some tender loving care....and spray paint!

First, I rinsed it down with a hose and used a magic eraser sponge to remove the dirt. Next, I lightly sanded and then taped the handles with masking tape.

Finally, I spray painted each shelf, taking care around the taped areas. The shade is Krylon Blue Ocean Breeze.  I let it dry overnight before removing the tape.  Now it is ready to go...

This makes cart number three for me--check back soon to see how I put them to use three different ways! I would love to hear about your latest makeover!

  1. You can take the cart one step further by using diet coke and aluminum foil on the chrome. It removes the rust, doesn't scratch the chrome and restores the shine. I usually finish up with automotive chrome polish for an extra layer of shine and to help keep the rust at bay. (Diet coke isn't sticky and really easy to use.)
