Product Note Patio Paint is a self-sealing interior/exterior paint. No prior preparation is needed when working on wood. For other surfaces, follow directions on label. Patio Paint may be used on all porous surfaces such as concrete, terra cotta, wood, plaster, etc. Because of the self-sealing agents, the paint does not require a varnish.

Trace with a pencil or stylus to transfer the design. Do not trace details until after basecoating has dried. Painting Instructions 6" Pot 1. Sponge with Pot O' Gold and Wrought Iron Black.
