Tips for Painting
- The best paint to use is spray paint. You will probably need 4 or 5 cans for a good base coat. It will depend on the color you are using and the color that is already on the rock. Latex paint or paint that is rolled on will take longer to dry.
- To paint your design, we recommend acrylic craft paint and craft or foam brushes. They are available at Walmart or any craft store.
