INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Let dry completely between painting steps.

    Step 0 Example
  2. Use a 2" flat brush to basecoat the tray Delicate. Rinse brush.
  3. Position the painter's tape into the shape or design you want. (You may want to measure with a ruler and pencil first or just eyeball it.)
    Step 2 Example
  4. Use a 1" flat brush to paint the design in Everlasting. Repeat as needed. Rinse brush and remove the painter's tape. Let completely dry.
    Step 3 Example
