Flower Pot Painting
How to paint beautiful black and white planters
Calories:
Materials
- 2 large plastic planters
- 1 piece sandpaper
- 1 block sanding block
- 2 cans white spray paint I use Rustoleum paint that specifies it bonds to plastic
- 2 cans black spray paint
- 1 roll painter's tape
Instructions
- Empty pots and spray thoroughly with water to get any dirt off.
- Do a quick rough sand to get the glossy finish off and to smooth any imperfections
- Place pot on protected surface (tarp, garbage bags, old sheets) and elevate pot so you can spray bottom edge without having to turn pot around.
- Ensure planters are thoroughly dry, then spray paint your base color on (in my case it was white). Thin coats are best. It took me 3 light coats (do not spray heavy coats).Read the back of spray can for information of temperature, technique and drying time.
- Tape your design onto pot with painter's tape. All covered areas will be white when tape is removed.
- Ensure everything you would like to be your base color (white) is covered well with the tape. Double check!
- Paint any exposed area with the secondary color (black). Thin coats! The black only took me 2 coats for each planter.
- Once you have ensured spray paint is dry (per can instructions), fill with soil and happy planting!
