Wipe down the entire surface of the candleholders with rubbing alcohol before painting and allow to dry completely. Paint both votive exteriors entirely in Lamp Black.
Cover the entire votive surfaces in DuraClear Galaxy Varnish and allow to dry. Apply several more coats of the Galaxy Varnish to the topmost portion of the votives, allowing to dry in between coats. (See the photo below.)
