Painting an Artificial Tree????

[amberorduna]

So my theme this year is, I'm dreaming of a Pink Christmas. Someone donated am artificial tree and I want to paint it pink. Any thoughts? Has anyone attempted this? Weigh in please. I fear it'll take a TON of spray paint and be difficult to cover the green. What do you think? It's a 5-6 foot tree and it would be so perfect. I know after it gets painted I won't be able to keep it for future years.

Thoughts and ideas please???

I say go for it. It will take about 10 cans of paint, and cost around $30 bucks. If I were to do this project, I'd start with white and cover the tree completely with that and then use a few cans of pink and give it a soft layered look. Also, they make these things that go over the can button so you don't have to lose a finger doing this. Of course do it outside and wear a mask. If you do it, send pictures, I'd love to see it.
