Step 1: Paint The Bottom Of Your Terra Cotta Pots Red

Start by painting your terra cotta pots. Paint the bottom portion red.

Step 2: Paint The Top Of Your Terra Cotta Pots Black

Allow the red to dry, then paint the top portion black. Allow each portion to dry completely before continuing.

NOTE:  Patio Paint usually covers in one coat, but multiple coats may be needed if using another paint.
