The metal stool I found had cut-outs, so I planned my design around those and went for a striped pattern. (TIP: If your bench has color or a pattern, paint the entire surface with Cloud White first and allow to dry.)
(TIP: Plan your colors and the order of the colors to be placed onto your project beforehand.) To clear white stripes to accent the bright colors in this design, I used painter's tape to mask off vertical stripes and used painter's tape to mask off the top and bottom rims.
Paint open areas vertically. (I started with Blue Bahama and painted each stripe I wanted to be blue. I had six colors, so I painted every fifth stripe that color.)
Pull off the tape from the Bahama Blue stripes when finished.
Paint the next set of stripes with Lime Zest. (TIP: If the color of paint you are using seems to be too translucent, add a drop of Cloud White to the color and mix.) Remove tape after painting this set of stripes.
Paint the next set of stripes with Tiger Lily Orange. Remove the tape. Allow to dry.
Re-tape the stripes that are left and paint on the next colors: Citrus Green, Marigold, and Fuchsia.
Touch up or add any more layers of colors, if needed, with a small flat brush. Using a baby wipe or wet paper towel, clean the edges of the lines. Allow to dry.
This project is perfect for a front porch or for patio accents. Place with other DIY spring projects to have a contemporary front porch.
