Ok i painted some yogurt containers with acrylic paint. I'm planning on using them outside as pots for flowers

I didn't paint the inside, just the outside of it to cover up the yogurt label. Do I need to put anything else on it to keep the paint from coming off? I'm not really sure what all I need to do. I've never done this before. Thanks.

The paint will eventually crack, and flake off. The plastic is really not paint friendly, and most paints that are would either melt the plastic, or would be a pain to use. Not a decorative-friendly dealy.


Little clay pots are relatively cheap, and they take any type of paint.


But use your yogurt containers, and enjoy them while your decorations last. Why not? I like to refer to those types of art projects as "parishable art".


Nice that you like to enjoy life and its little important things.


Good for you.

Reply:You might want to get some spray-on sealant to coat the acrylic paint, and make it a little tougher to damage. Krylon makes a good clear spray-on sealant that I like to use; you can generally get it at places like Home Depot or Lowes.
