2. Using ruler, measure top of lid and mark halfway point with pencil or washable marker.
3. Lay strip of masking tape across middle of tin. (See photo: tin at left.) Make sure to firmly press down edges of tape down so paint can’t get underneath.

5. Paint second layer, this time using only horizontal brushstrokes. Let dry and cure for 24 hours.
6. Remove masking tape. If paint has seeped under masking tape, gently rub away with finger.
