I wanted to purchase these trays forever and when I finally went to get them, they discontinued to make them in black???!!!

At first I was really pooped, but decided to get them anyways.

So I brought them home, they looked just an ok in my vanity area. But I saw them in black before (on specktra too) and I wanted mine to be black too.
I checked online which spray paints I can use for plastic.

Found out that Krylon Fusion will work, went to walmart and purchased it in Gloss Black.

And after couple of days that I spent in my garage, I finally got what I wanted.

You are awesome for posting this! I wanted the black ones also but the only color the store here sells is cream. Not bad but of course black goes with everything

Ahh great idea! I was totally bummed out that they stopped carrying the black ones too.. I never thought to buy the white ones & paint them though! Thanks!

Did you have to prep the trays before you sprayed them black? By prep I mean sand or rub with some sort of liquid to strip it of its original glossy finish?

^ Nope, I did not do any prep at all. But I did paint them right away when I unpacked them from they original packaging.

That's a super idea! I have the white trays also, and I don't like them at all - they remind me of some hospital supplies, or something...
