Hello!
You left a reply on AT regarding white vases: “I just spray painted a load of vases white with a glossy paint. They look great and you cant tell they were different colors after the third coat of paint.”
I was looking into different spray paints. Were you painting on glass vases? Did you get a nice gloss? What brand and type of paint did you use?
Thank You!
Jeff
Jeff,
I was painting on ceramic vases. I used krylon spray paint in white gloss. I was going for the cheapest fix. I purchased some shiny top coat to make them glossy if the paint wasn’t enough but it was fine. I didn’t even use it. The biggest thing I learned was to spray lightly and multiple coats. The shiny stuff drips easily. The surface of the vases was already glossy to start so I was afraid the paint wouldn’t stick but it worked great! They are not handled much except for dusting so I don’t know about their toughness but they work great for display!
I recently found a Lilly Pulitzer girl’s size 4 pink turle sleeveless top. Can you tell me anything about the material? When was it produced? What was the inspiration? It is BRAND NEW, tags still on! I am intrigued by this! It is EXACTLY like the pink turtle outfit in your description of the “Jamaica” outfits.
Thank you so much!
