Great idea. I have been planning on redoing my outside pots and I thankyou so much for telling me about the Krylon. Does it in anyway absorb into the soil of the plants when we water them? Will Krylon work on plastic 2 liter bottles? I have a project in mind using 2 liter clear coke bottles, but I want them white.
Melody,
I'm spray painting pots today, and am wondering. Your pot in the original post looks so shiny. I'm using the same hammered paint today, but mine aren't looking that shiny. How many coats of each did you put on? Did you use a high gloss sealer or polyurethane of some sort? Thanks.
I just put a couple of coats of the first color, just enough to cover the pot good, then sponged the other color on till it looked satisfactory.
Sometimes the amount of humidity in the air will make spray paint look different from one painting to the next, but as you're in Houston, I would figure that we'd have way more than you...and colder too.
Mine didn't have a super shiny finish, but a nice gloss. Could be the differences in paint lots too.
Could be the way the light hit it for the photograph, but I didn't use a flash, just natural light.
