Patio Paint and How to Age Galvanized Steel
An aging technique on this very shiny bucket was just the
beginning of this project...
I will keep it on the deck next to my potting bench.
As you can see, this bucket is so shiny you can almost see yourself in it... not good!
The first step in this transformation is to age the shiny steel!
I painted on a product that you can learn about more in my post on Antiquing Solutions where I experimented with 3 different antiquing products to get 3 very different results.

The shiny finish was immediately toned down. The grooves are darker, and the bucket now has a beautifully aged patina.

The second part of this project is a new paint by DecoArt I was very anxious to try, called Patio Paint.
The application and clean-up is quick and easy, too!
DecoArt recommends Patio Paint for use on all kinds of surfaces:

I am liking it on galvanized steel today...
Patio Paint went on smoothly and cleaned up in a wink!
With the beautiful patina on this bucket and a paint that can withstand the weather.
I'm sure this potting soil bucket will look great on my deck all summer and only get better with time!
DecoArt I loved this product and I'm anxious to try every color!
How about using Patio Paint and painting some terra cotta pots with stripes or chevrons this summer?
