Use a stool covered in a drop cloth as a painting stand. Place the planter on top of the stool and then load the FLEXiO 4000 HVLP paint sprayer with paint in your desired shade.

With the sprayer set to low, spray around the planter starting at the top and continuing until about halfway. To achieve the ombre look, spray the top with the heaviest coat of paint. As you move down the planter, use less paint to coat as you go along to the halfway point.

Let dry completely and then spray the entire piece with a clear acrylic sealant to help protect the paint.
