Outdoor rocks are available in many shapes and sizes, like small pebbles or bigger landscaping stones and boulders. Spray-painting bright colors on stone makes an intriguing garden feature. It is possible to mimic colours of a rose garden and set the rocks near the flowerbed, or utilize the colorful rocks in planters and pots. Outdoor rocks must be dry and clean to spray paint sealed and them afterward to protect your undertaking.
Pour water in a bucket, add a couple of drops of dish soap and then mix it to produce a slightly soapy liquid. Dip rocks to the soapy water and brush all surfaces with a toothbrush. Rinse the stones thoroughly with water and then dry them with a towel. Place the rocks outside in direct sunlight and allow them to dry fully. Rocks with pits in them are able to require 24 hours to dry fully.
Put several layers of paper on an outside surface, such as a picnic table. Put dry and clean stones on the paper with approximately 6 inches of space between them. Shake a can of outdoor spray paint with primer for a couple minutes to mix it. Depress the nozzle over the can’s top and start spraying 6 to 8 inches away from the stones, and from left to right in quick strokes. Press the nozzle a couple of inches before it contacts the stone on the left and then keep it depressed until a couple of inches past the stone on the right.
Permit the top side of the stone to dry fully. Turn the stone over and paint the other side in exactly the exact same fashion as the first. Enable the paint to dry fully.
Treat the stones with acrylic clear coat spray in the exact same fashion as you painted them. This applies a shiny finish and protects the stones to get a long term garden project.
