You can spray paint them.
Paint with outside paint!
William...I have either spray painted mine or used a paint brush and either works well. Good luck to you!
Hi William,
As others have said, you can paint them with spray or outdoor paint. You can also upgrade them a bit using a rag with the paint. This ideas comes from another Hometalk member and I tried it too. It makes my old pots look dressed up. :) Wishing you the best.
