Spray Painting Planter Urns
Spray Painting Planter Urns
As I set out to make our front entrance stunning and thus add to my curb appeal, I look at our dated planter urns and sigh. I paid good money for them approximately 5 years ago, but living through 5 winters of snow and ice have taken a toll on them and they no longer look sleek and stately. They are rusted and look dated.
I checked out other urns to replace these and was surprised at the prices. I couldn’t find any in the price range that I wanted to spend so I came up with plan B. Spray paint!

The next big decision was what color and what type of paint should I use?
The traditional black urns felt too formal for our new home.
Checking out the various spray paint options at my local hardware store, I decided on Rust-oleum with multicolor texture in Desert Bisque.
It goes on smoothly but it does take alot of paint to cover it. Here's the look after 2 cans of spray paint for 2 urns.
The final product. I left a bit of black touches showing here and there for texture and interest.
Once I finished it I didn’t like the urns for the front door anymore (lol) so I moved it to the back which I feel adds the final touch to complete the patio look.
