Roof Turbine Spinners
I needed spinners for each side of my gate and I love patriotic colors
Best Aluminum primer!
I started with these two roof turbines. They are aluminum so you need to prime them before you start any kind of painting. So the paint doesn't peel
I used This Aluminum Primer you can get it on Amazon
This is what it looks like after you prime it
Now for the fun! I paint all the time so I had the paint on hand But when I need to buy this brand I get it at Hobby Lobby
This is what they look like on top! Oh my Gosh! I didn't realize my killer Yorkie got in that picture! LOL
Now for the thing about putting them out in the weather, I needed to protect them from the elements so I sprayed them with Exterior Uv protection Spar urethane
This is what I used You can get it from amazon
They are so pretty when the wind blows and make them spin
