Re-vamped Galvanised Planters

With a further £5 investment in a can of spraypaint in a shade called "Chocolate", we now have shiny new planters.

When I saw the spray can in the previous photo, I thought you maybe had a plan....

These look the right shape and colour for giant liqueur chocolates. :o)

Thats a great colour David,Very Contemporary. I love them..

Yes, TTl, I tried placing them here and there, like giant pieces of chocolate. Might visit another branch tomorrow to see if they have any.

Thanks, Dee! Yes, this is going to be a bit like carrying an interior design trend into the outdoors, Dark chocolate and cream? Hmmmmmmmm !

Those planters look really good.
Great idea to try to get more - especially at that price.

We're all going to get tubby helping you design this high calorie garden:o)

hello david glad to hear your on line at home (at last) this chocalate paint isnt a hint at your new garden theme is it, willy wonka lol

They look great David, very good idea.

TT, I'll certainly NOT get tubby, with all the work to be done (even with chocolate at every tea break). Any "help" will be appreciated.

Hi Lyd, yes, you're right of course as to the theme. You must have missed my wee riddle blog. It's good to be back to normal, on GOY into the early hours, lol!

Many thanks, Janey!

I just spray-painted the Plastikote straight on, Arlene. It hasn't come off at all, and I did just one coat.
