When life hands you a roadside find, turn it into something fun!

I recently came across a Little Tikes Cozy Coupe that was left on the side of the road, and I couldn’t resist taking it home for a makeover. My boys love playing with delivery trucks, and what better inspiration than an Amazon Prime delivery truck? With a little spray paint and my trusty Cricut machine, I turned this worn-out car into the coolest ride on the block.

Here’s how I did it:

Materials You’ll Need:

• Little Tikes Cozy Coupe (or any similar toy car)

• Spray paint (I used dark blue for the body and black for the accents)

• Cricut machine (optional but super helpful for creating decals)

• Vinyl for decals (I used light blue and white for the Amazon Prime logo and silver for headlights)

• Clear coat (optional for added durability)

• Painter’s tape/plastic bags (for masking areas you don’t want to paint)

• Screwdriver (for removing any parts you don’t want painted)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Prep the Cozy Coupe

Before diving into the paint, I disassembled the Cozy Coupe to ensure a neat and clean paint job. Using a screwdriver, I removed the steering wheel, key, gas cap, and hub caps. I removed the stickers using Goo Gone and sanded down the whole car.

2. Spray Paint

I wanted to keep the Amazon Prime truck color scheme, so I chose dark blue for the body and black for the wheels and accents. After cleaning the car thoroughly, I covered the wheels with plastic bags. I spray-painted the entire body dark blue, then used black spray paint for the roof and wheels. I made sure to use multiple light coats for an even finish.

3. Create the Amazon Prime Logo

This is where my Cricut came in handy! I used my Cricut machine to create vinyl decals for the Amazon Prime logo and license plate. For the logo, I used light blue and white vinyl to match the classic Amazon Prime look. I also added a personalized license plate for a fun touch. I traced the headlights and cut out circles.

4. Apply the Decals

Once the paint was dry, I applied the vinyl decals to the truck’s sides, headlights, and the back for the license plate. The Cricut-made stickers made it super easy to get that professional look without much effort.

5. Finishing Touches

To ensure the paint job would last through all the outdoor adventures, I added a clear coat over the entire car. This step is optional but definitely helps keep the paint from chipping.

And voila! We now have a Little Tikes Cozy Coupe Amazon Prime delivery truck, and my boys couldn’t be more thrilled. It’s been a huge hit in our neighborhood, and it only took a little time and creativity to transform this roadside find into something special.

Tips for Your Own Cozy Coupe Makeover:

• When spray painting, always do it in a well-ventilated area and wear a mask.

• If you don’t have a Cricut, you can buy premade vinyl stickers online or even hand-paint your designs!

• Be sure to apply multiple thin coats of spray paint for the smoothest finish.

I hope this inspires you to get creative with your own Cozy Coupe makeovers! It’s such a fun and easy way to give new life to old toys and add a personal touch that your kids will love.
