Wash your tins thoroughly and allow to dry.
Lay out newspaper in a well-ventilated working area.
Use masking tape and newspaper to shield the inside of the containers.

Spray with one or two coats of Satin Super Cameo Pink or Porcelain. Two thin, even coats will give a better finish. Paint half the tins a different colour to create visual interest.
Whilst the paint is still tacky, remove the masking tape. Once the paint is completely dry apply adhesive letters to label each tin.
Spray the tins with a finishing coat of Super Clear Acrylic for extra protection.
Note: Always follow usage instructions on the reverse of Plasti-kote spray paint cans.
