Painting On Rocks For Outdoors

“Do I need different supplies to paint on rocks for outdoors?” That’s a question I hear all the time. Sure, you can use specialized acrylic paints designed specifically to weather well for projects used outside. But those paints aren’t necessary if you want to use paints you already have at home.

To paint on rocks for outdoor use without using a specialized paint, make sure to use a good sealer. Several thin coats of a good sealer will protect your painted designs from the elements. You’ll be able to hide them on a trail or place in the garden without worry.

Whether you’re painting rocks for outdoors or indoors, you’ll find everything you need in the articles below.
