With an eye on the struggling property market and to promote sustainable living, Plasti-kote, the market leading spray paint brand of the Valspar Corporation, has recently invested in the philosophy of recycling old furniture and objects around the home.
With no quick solutions to the credit crunch and the knock-on effect on the housing market, many consumers are seeing 2008 as a time to batten down the financial hatches and make the most of what they've got in their homes. The idea of recycling old furniture and objects around the home not only makes sound financial sense but also reinforces the philosophy of sustainable living as it reduces the amount consumers throw away.

Plasti-kote have invested in this philosophy by bringing out 14 new colours to reflect current colour trends and by introducing six exciting new room sets that demonstrate both the versatility of Plasti-kote spray paint and the range of colours available.

Consumers can view the room sets on www.plasti-kote.com as well as on individual project cards. The project ideas demonstrate how consumers can make the most of furniture and objects around the home. Plasti-kote will be promoting this recycling theme in the consumer press over the coming months. Pictured is a close up of the sitting room which features a number of the new colours introduced this Spring, including Black Plum which is predicted to be a top seller.

Spray paint is perfect for recycling decorative objects around the home. Tables, chairs, ornaments, lighting fixtures, mirrors, garden furniture, even kitchen appliances can all be given a new lease of life and complement a new or existing colour scheme. Plasti-kote also has a range of products for specialist applications such as radiator, appliance and tile paint so that a room can be quickly given a face lift as well as a finish that is tough and long lasting.
