- Coat the terracotta pots inside and out with Resene Terracotta Sealer.
- Once dry, apply Resene Quick Dry as a fast-drying undercoat.
- Then, paint each pot with the assigned undercoat for each Resene FX Metallic paint. Allow to dry.
- Â Take time to stir each Resene FX Metallic paint pot so the sparkle is mixed through the paint. Paint two to three layers, allowing drying time after each layer. Use a criss-cross technique when painting. This ensures maximum sparkle and great results.
- Pop your gardening gloves on, and half-fill each painted pot with soil. Put a small plant in and fill to near the top with more soil.
- Enjoy!
TIP: A great idea for Christmas presents because they’re pretty and made from the heart!
TIP: A basecoat is recommended for all Resene FX Metallics – with the specific colour shown in brackets on the colour chart.
