I use mine to hold Q-tips and cotton balls in my medicine cabinet, which probably helps with reducing the amount of chipping.

I would suggest going to your local home improvement store and see if they sell Valspar paint. They may still have the navy blue that I used. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

They do tend to chip if you hit them with a sharp edge, but I intend to use them to organize supplies in our medicine cabinet (cotton balls, q-tips, etc) that are soft. I would recommend lightly sanding and using a primer before you spray on your paint color. Either way, they would probably not be best for high traffic use. Four bins were only $1.00, so I'm not worried about them getting damaged :)Katie @ Little House of Fourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11186862834959203644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4880034708850704040.post-30277913803191802912014-08-26T22:56:15.692-04:002014-08-26T22:56:15.692-04:00Hi Carmen!
