Step by step guide
Step Number1


Get down to your local garden center to buy your Terracotta pots or have a root through your shed. If you are using some old pots give them a good clean and allow to dry prior to spraying.

 
Step Number2

Start by masking off the rims of the pot as this area will be left unsprayed. Lay down newspaper to protect the surrounding area.

 
Step Number3

For permanent lettering, make templates for the herb names and use Flat White.

 
Step Number4

If you used the Flat you will need to leave for approximately 45 minutes. You can now remove the masking tape and get potting!

 
Step Number5

Note: Always follow usage instructions on the reverse of Valspar Spray Paint cans
