I love the color you chose! I’m sure they are so lovely. Spray painting glassware can become a habit!
Happy crafting!

Palla,

First, I would recommend shopping at a second-hand store for all your vases. Glass vases (even new from the dollar store) should be wiped down with alcohol before painting. They have some kind of coating on them when they’re new.
None of the vases should need priming if you buy Rust-o-Leum or Krylon that have the primer included.
Please read all the directions on the can, because they have different dry times and re-coat requirements. For example, paint second coat within 1 hour or after 24 hours.
Several light coats work better than 2 heavy coats.

Have fun!
Happy New Year Palla!

Hi Gail,

Happy new year to u and your family.

I am new at this. But I would love to learn how to do some art projects to decorate my home and I thought that a few spray painted glass/metal/stone flower vases in some standard/subtle colors like tan, beige, white, etc with flowers in them would look great in my home. Therefore, I would like some tips. I am thinking of going to my nearest Michael’s or Dollar Tree to pick up a couple of standard metal vases that aren’t to expensive and glass vases that aren’t too expensive or some stone vases that aren’t too expensive. My question is do I need to prime my metal vases before I spray paint them? And what kind of spray paint do u suggest for glass and metal or stone materials? My metal vases will probably be a mix of brass, copper, etc…. Please suggest.

Thanx.

Any ole’ kind of white paint. Spray paint has improved so much over the last few years.
My best tip is to follow the manufacturers instructions. Each one is different as far as drying times etc.

I’ve dyed hydrangeas before, but I don’t think I’ve spray painted them. I’m anxious for my bush to start blooming!

I believe it would work Linda. The paint gives very good coverage.
