How to Paint a Locker Cubs Blue

Locker cubs are handy storage devices. They let you maximize space by providing lots of discrete spaces to keep shoes, books or other personal items separate. The very thing that makes a locker cub so useful also makes it harder to paint. There is a lot of surface area to cover, and tight corners. To speed the job, use a mini-roller to apply the paint. In addition, latex enamel provides a finish that can stand up to daily usage. Blue is an good color to paint the cubs, as it is nice and bright, but dark enough to hide wear.

      Start at the top of the locker cub, working on the exterior. Roll out the top, then the sides, should they be exposed, as well as the back. You won't need the brush if the locker cub is freestanding. Use the brush to paint the edges should they be attached to the wall.
