    To paint your pots in the patio just follow the steps!!!

    1. Remove the plant and soil from the pot.
    2. Wash the pots or soak in water for 10 mins.
    3. Use a coir brush or a steel scrape plate like the ones the masons use and scrape the outer pot. You can also use emery sheets to scrape the outter dust and moss.
    4. Now use Patio paints which are available in the US, but am not sure if its available in India, You can use cement Primer (white).

    The Cement Primer will settle down in the paint cans so use a spatula and stir it well.

    If you are using Cement Primer, apply 2 coats and let it dry for a couple of hours.

    5. Then you can apply Oil paint like black or brown (if you want them to stay for a long time) More over on a primer coat oil paints go well.

    6. Use a yellow carbon sheet and trace what ever design you want on the Pot and paint it with oil paints (they stay for long time). If you have Patio Paint go with they work well too!!!
