OT but craft related
I have a terra cotta birdbath that I want to paint HOT PURPLE. Catalogs
charge 89 + shipping. vs 2 cans of paint for 16. Other than scrubbing is there any other preparations I should be doing? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BetsyB

I'd suggest you prime it first. It will help seal it. Also it should make the
paint hold up longer as well as go on easier and require less of it. The last thing I sprayed without priming took three times the paint I expected it would. Debra

Yep, you'll want to seal it, because if you don't, water you put in it will likely cause the paint to bubble and peel. -- Chuck *#:^) chaz3913(AT)yahoo(DOT)com Anti-spam sig: please remove "NO SPAM" from e-mail address to reply.
