  • Sorry, no Spanish. Wonderful planters - what have they been coated with to make them smooth and which paint was used? This is a really inspriational thread.

    Well done gardengirl...I really think I would like to have go and your tips will certainly help.

  • Hello Daintiness

    Yeah I do not speak Spanish, I was looking it up on the computer something like enamel exterior (painting of ships) I guess that is what makes them shiny Look good though.

    Don't know if that paint is water based probably expensive to get hold of?

    Well that good more people inspired by the tyre planters

  • I came to this forum through Google Images.

    the soft is because what you see inside the tire, they are turned

    I use enamel paint exterior (paint boats)

     have made ??????over a hundred different tires, if you want to see some step by step, I look at my blog

     

    gracias 

  • Gardengirl:

    Boat paint is cheap because once it is already well covered

    other outer enamel paints require paint twice

    the advantage of painting boat is its duration, many years as the first day

  • Hi Lidia Cabanella

    Thanks for that - thats good to know you only need to paint once, would be a pain to keep painting to keep them looking good.

    Where do you buy the paint?  Is it sold in boat shops?

    Does it come in all different colours like yellow, is the paint shiny because it is for the outer surface of a boat?

    Is that ok to paint on rubber it does not melt the tyre?  The only thing suggest to me from a paint company was masonry paint which is water based and which they do not come in many colours so not great.

    Oh I'm sooo glad I joined GW forums.

    These are great Gardengirl, well done for not giving up think I'dve rolled the damn thing away before now but they look great.

    Lidia Cabanella's are beautiful too.

    Have you decided on the colours yet although they look great washed black and the plant will set them off beautifully.

    Any ideas what your going to plant up in them yet?

  • la pintrua de barcos tiene pocos colores, pero yo los mezclo entre si y consigo muchos más

    un bote de pintura son 9 euros y tienes para pintar 8 neumáticos

    se compran en tiendas especializadas de pinturas

     por ejemplo, no existe el rosa y para hacer el cerdo mezclé rojo y blanco

    sirve para pintar el caucho, las llantas y los tapacubos de plástico
