| Here are the goodies I got at a yard sale with their new looks. I like them so much better with a coat of paint.

| beautiful! Did you use regular acrylic paint, and do you have to prime them before painting? I tried painting something similar to that one time and never did get it to look very good. Those are nice! |

| Those are great! What do you use (if anything) to protect your paint outdoors? |

| Wow, that didn't take you long. Now you can place them where you want them and just enjoy. Be sure to do two or three coats of an indoor/outdoor clear sealer so all your painting won't wash away. I try to re spray my outdoor things at least once a year. Luvs |

| I'm so happy they turned out the way I wanted. I took a few days off work to keep my little granddaughter who was sick so between her naps I got a lot of painting done:-) I didn't prime them, I have painted other outdoor things without priming them first and they have not peeled yet. I used regular tole paint and did 2 coats of acrylic sealer on them. Now I have to get to work on the fairy houses and the metal garden man:-) |
