  • I paint the inside as much for the adhesion of the paint as to make it a good color

  • The top edge is wiped clean of over-paint
    planters_and...
  • Second-coating. Start at the top edge and get the post-tops twice
    planters_and...
  • I'll paint the top all around while I can hold the bottom...

  • ... and paint the bottom with my hand inside
    planters_and...
  • The second coat is always leaner than the first coat
    planters_and...
  • The second-coat on the trellis is very lean. All those cross-pieces are places that drips will form if much paint is on the brush
    planters_and...
  • I am painting on a damp rag to collect those drips. After a couple of minutes I'll take it off and touch-up the backs of the uprights with a very lean coat of paint
    planters_and...
  • A final touch-up with sandpaper
    planters_and...
  • Every new coat is less paint than the last
    planters_and...
  • The tops of the Posts will need their second coat
    planters_and...
  • Very lean this time on the Trellis
    planters_and...
  • You can see from the paint on the brush that there's not much paint in it
