PAINTING MASON JARS

I have a paint spray gun and a compressor so I spray my glass canning jars. I spray them to get a uniform finish without brush markers. It can go quickly however as with anything there are always draw backs.

When changing colors I have to clean my gun and get a
 new color set up. If I brush painted I could go back and
forth with each color pot and a different brush. When I
 spray I have a dedicated place to do it so everything has to
 move to a drying location. When using a brush I let the item
 dry right where I painted them.

I like putting different jars together for flower vases.

They have so many uses around the house and they are an

 easy an inexpensive way to add color to a room. There are 3

 different blues in this photo and they are all custom mixed

 starting with ASCP Provence.

These 2 jars are another ASCP custom mixed grey color.

I can use a single jar in the bathroom for toothbrushes, or 

cotton balls. Pens and pencils hid nicely inside the wide 

mouth jars but you can still get them out easily.

I also wax my painted jars. The longer you wait to distress the

 better. Give the paint some curing time, i.e. a day or two,

then wax. George is getting quite good at waxing and had a

 hand in getting these jars finished up.
