Re: Decorating tips needed

I used spray paint that says it is specifically for use on plastic. It has a

picture of a plastic lawn chair on the front, and I got it at Home Depot. I was

Rust-Oleum.

Here's a picture:

It was very messy to spray paint because the tape I used to protect the inside

of the band wouldn't stick. I wouldn't suggest spraying your band, but the paint

has stuck really well so far. Maybe you could spray some into a disposable

container and then paint it onto the band with a brush. I did this for some

touch-ups, and it worked really well. FYI, you will need paint thinner to clean

the brush after.

used acrylic and then modpodge, well the thing peeled right of, I'm lost, all I

want is to paint it black and then I want to put some decals. I heard thet the

acrylic Folk Art works well and I guess I could try varnish on top. Has anybody

used latex waterbased spray? any suggestions? thank you.

Thanks for the tip. I just have a question, is it smelly?

Oooo, I don't think I would use rustoleum or spray paint of any kind. Isn't that

toxic?

I used acrylic paint and mod podge and it would last about 3 weeks before I had

to peel it off and replace it.

Yes, it's both smelly and toxic. You definately wouldn't want your child chewing

on it!
