Are you soaking your pots in water on purpose? If so, why? Please come back and share!Īileen, I’m a little confused. I hope this helps! If you use the metallic paint, we’d love to hear about your results. If you sand the pots, be sure to wipe them off with a damp cloth to remove any dust residue and allow to dry completely before proceeding to paint. Be sure to follow the other steps as well, including cleaning the pots, letting them dry and even using some fine grit sandpaper to smooth out any really rough spots.
You can even use a primer on the inside of the pots. Here’s the best suggestion: use a non-metallic primer on your terra cotta pots first. I can’t imagine the metallic particles actually soaking through the clay pots, but I guess anything is possible. One thing I know from working with these pots (and I’ve painted a lot of terra cotta pots) is that they are very porous. I did a little research and I couldn’t find anything specific to the effect (if any) to plants growing in terra cotta pots that have been painted with metallic paint.
