Painting a water can

[dave moore]

Hi all

 

I'm currently painting and decorating a 2 gallon water can. Unusually, I've a photographic record of every step so far. I'm not claiming that this is the " right" way to go about the process, but I thought that the pictures may be of interest to some on the forum. I'm happy to email pictures to interested parties. So far I'm ready to start adding the flowers and additional infill, so it's not far off. I'm ty ping this while waiting for my workshop to warm up....too old to be uncomfortable these days!

 

Cheers

 

Dave

I'm pretty sure Dave doesn't do 'putting pictures on here' if i remember correctly.

 

Dave, if you want to email them to me I'll add them to this thread once I'm out the other end of Braunston tunnel. I'll PM you my email address.

I can only say my flabber is well and truly gasted with the skill needed and the quality of the finished can.
