5 weeks since fall

11 Replies

Well I decided I will need to get my knee checked. It has not healed on its own.

So figured I better get my crutches painted. If I get ready it might not need surgery.

I do not know how much the prednisone is masking things.

The crutches need one more coat before they look really cool. I am wore out now so will take a rest.

God bless....

Love it! One of my friends has painted her crutches Rose Gold and has battery operated lights attached to them. Great for going out in the dark or for parties :) xxx

Loving those!! 👍👍👍👍

I am going to do my crutch now I have seen tbese. What paint did you use? I also want to paint my gardening stool which is a shower stool. It has adaptable legs length so perfect for a sloped garden.

I used my acrylic paints. If it was summer I would have spray painted them first n then used acrylic. I will have to paint them again with a second coat. It took me quite a long time to do it. I now plan to do my walker.

We have an area for people to give away things not needed. I scored a really tall n wide walker with large tires a seat n brakes. I use it now to take out the garbage and sit on it when doing dishes.

Just normal spray paint? I have always used oil for painting which I would have to wait weeks to use as I palette knife it on. I may test it on a spare crutch first... I have 5 hanging around the house and car.

I like for metal the type of spray paint used for cars but for this type of project I would not be against using any u have handy. The acrylic paint I use is less than 2 dollars for a 2 ounce bottle. Some places I can get it for 50cents.

I am not sure oil will adhere as well. Can't hurt to try.
