Reader project: a Rose Gold garden with PlastiKote spray paint

SPIadmin

A warm welcome to Rachel Morecroft from Hastings who got in touch with PlastiKote spray paints and wowed us with her Rose Gold projects, our Metallic colour of the moment! Rachel came across Rose Gold by chance and emailed us to show how she has been using it…

“I’m a big fan of spray paint and whilst shopping for some colour spray paint for my much loved wicker chair, I came across Rose Gold. I bought a can, not really knowing what to do with it but loving the colour.

I think the rose gold colour looks great against greenery, so I sprayed a couple of garden ornaments and an old tin can tea light holder I’d made that was green in a previous life.

 

Heart before and after

 

I love the pretty sheen and think these ornaments look fab in the garden. There’s still some left in the can so I’m looking for my next project…”

  • Spray a couple of fine layers of Metallic Rose Gold, following instructions on the can.

 

how to step by step

 

  • Remove the lace when just dry and allow to thoroughly dry.
  • Fill with sweet treats, chutney or jam!
