Rocking Horse

I bought this awesome wooden rocking horse at Lovelady Thrift Store for $1.98 (!). It was in great shape, but the head was a little wonky and the body was pretty banged up. My plan was to paint it and sell it, but my older daughter loves it, so for now it has a home in ours. For each project I plan to discuss, at least briefly, the type of paint I used and my methods. You should know, I am loyal to Rust-oleum and use it almost exclusively. They don't pay me (in case that isn't painfully obvious!).

This is the before- a sweet lil boring horse:

I used wood glue to secure the head back on.

Paint used:

Leftover gray porch paint for the body

Yellow Rust-oleum "High Performance Protective Enamel"

Various acrylic paint for the accents

I sprayed it with Rust-oleum spray enamel

Without further ado:
