Top tip: Make sure you don’t get any paint or sealer around the join where the lid fits on - otherwise you may not be able to open your tin!

Step one
Carefully sand the tin with sandpaper – this will help the paint to stick. Wipe clean with a cloth.

Step two
Paint the tin with one coat of Resene Waterborne Smooth Surface Sealer and allow to dry.

Step three
Paint the tin with two coats of Resene Suzie Q, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.

Step four
Paint the words ‘secret stuff’ on the lid of the tin with Resene Get Reddy and allow to dry. How cool is that?
