Do you love the look of stone pottery? You can turn your old plastic and terracotta pots into pots that look and feel expensive or only a few dollars.
Today I am sharing with you, something that I discovered over 10 years ago. have used it several times for different projects, but just recently decided to do some new projects.
Stone Texture Spray Paint
How to Get Amazing Results
There are some tips and tricks that I want to share with you to ensure amazing results.
I have been wanting to give a couple of my large clay pots a new updated look.
Rust-Oleum stone paint is the perfect product to do just that and it does come in assorted colors.
So let’s get to it.
NOTE: This project needs to be done outside or in a well-ventilated room.
Prepping
1. Make sure your pot or object is clean and dust-free.
2. I first painted my pots with chalked paint or white flat latex paint. I let it dry for about 15 minutes
3. Painting the pots with the chalked paint or flat white gives the stone paint gripping power and also you do not have to use as much of the stone paint to get good coverage on the pots.
Stone Paint
Shake can for about one minute (very important).
Spray holding can about 10 inches from your object. Spray in a sweeping motion.
Apply very light coats. It’s best to layer this paint in 2 or 3 sprays.
I sprayed this pot with 3 light coats.
Letting each coat dry about 30 minutes between coats.
The pot will need to dry overnight before it is ready to be handled and several days to really cure. If it is humid weather it will take a few days longer than normal for the paint to dry completely.
This is how the pot looked when I started…………………………………….This is the look when finished…
The paint dries to a hard textured stone finish. If your pot or item is going to be used for exterior use or not on a covered porch you will need to apply a topcoat STONE CLEAR SEAL spray as a final spray to protect your project.
You can make any pot, vase or other object look like it is stone.
So many possibilities don’t you think? Have you used this type of paint on a project?
Don’t forget to pin this project to your PINTEREST for a later.

I LOVE this look. It makes that pot look so much more expensive and upscale! I’ve never used this paint, but I’ve seen it in the store many times. When we move to the new house, I want things to look very upscale and will be purchasing some pots for plants and such. Can this be used on plastic as well? I’ve pinned it to my DIY board! :-)
Hi Benita…..I think you will love the look……I haven’t ever tried using it on plastic…..but may give it a try. I have a couple of plastic pots that look like terra cotta but have faded and they would benefit greatly if this spray would work on them. If I try it on them I will let you know how it goes. Thanks for pinning and for stopping by.
That is so cool looking. I am not much of a DIYer but love watching what others do in hope it will inspire me…like this post!
Hi Denise…..Thanks I hope you get time to give this a try….it really is a fun project and the results is so satisfying. Have a great Sunday!
What a great way to update an old pot! I may have to give this a try with a few of my old pots for an updated outdoor decor!
Thanks Ruthie…..I have a couple of old faded plastic pots that I am going to try it on. Fingers crossed that it turns them into beauties..lol
That is impressive! Can you use it the spray paint on plastic? I have some really cheap pots that are just plastic, wondering if I could make those look a little better too.
Hi Erin not sure about plastic but I am going to give it a try on a couple of plastic pots soon. We will see. Thanks for stopping by
Wow, I love this!! I’ve never used the stone texture paint, what a cheap way to get an expensive look! :)
