Wynn has been asking for a Little Tikes coupe in the police officer version for months now. I figured I could find a car either on Craigslist or a yard sale. The police officer version is not as popular, so I figured after seeing a few examples on Pinterest I could change a classic version to one for her.
I happened to find this one at a kids consignment sale this weekend for $4. It needed a major cleaning, so Wynn gave it a good wash on Saturday afternoon. During nap time Rob gave it an additional cleaning and then used the Valspar Plastic Spray Paint to cover the car. It took one can of black and then a leftover can of tan we had from a previous project. It was nice that we already had the plastic spray paint on hand.
I cut out some lettering and a police star on my Silhouette and added them to the car once it had around 24 hours or so to dry.
Wynn was very excited about her car. I was excited that I did not have to spend $60 on a new one and assemble it. We both won on this project. Total cost for me on this project was $4 because I had already purchased the spray paint for previous projects.
