    Hi, I am new to IL. I am a working lady, mother of two sons. I love doing all sorts of creative crafts whenever I have some free time .
    Please help me with a few queries about terracota pot painting -

    1. What colors should I use for outdoor pots
    2. Any brand name or alternative for water based acrylic sealant available in the
    Indian market

    Thanks in advance .

    Its better to use water based acrylic paint for easy soap-and-water clean-up.

    Brands...Patio Paint?!!!!!
    Painting Surfaces:

    Concrete
    Terra cotta
    Wood
    Masonry
    Stucco
    Stone
    Ceramic bisque
    Cast aluminum
    Styrofoam


    Features and Advantages:

    Easy-to-use, one-step
    No sealing or varnishing needed
    Weather-resistant
    Will not crack or peel
    Scuff-resistant
    Non-toxic
    Easy clean-up while wet
    Water-based

    Hmmmmmmmmm....Alternate
    may be high gloss exterior latex paint...make a query in the paint shop if its available?

    Thanks

    Dear Ma'm ,

    Right now I am using acrylics for pot & other surface paintings ,all for indoor deco.
    I came across the usage of sealants and was wondering about it !

    Thank you so much for your replying in detail.
