Carrie ... this is the BEST tutorial I have seen on how to get that galvanized metal look. Thank you so much!!!

[@cutflower36]

last step is key, looks really good

[@Quest4it]

I love the whitewash tip to seal it. Buckets look really good!!! Again there is no way anyone would know they are plastic. Looks like real galvanized metal👍❤🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 You get 5 stars! Woot woot😁

Un-flipping-believable!! The cake stands and these buckets! Uh!! Girl--we dont care about your nails!! Van Gogh didn't have an ear...right? You are amazing!!

[@Sewcial_Mayhem]

I’m sitting here in awe that you did TWENTY of those! I saw the craft room video which led me here. Until you said they were DT plastic bins that you painted I thought they were legit galvanized. Then you showed an actual galvanized container and it looked exactly like the painted ones.

I really love how these came out. I found a centerpiece in a catalog and the planter is galvanized but there was no way I'm paying the asking price. Now I can make it for my coffee table.

[@MamaDaresToDIY]

Wonderful! I cant wait to hear how it turns out!!!

[@teshamiller6001]

I feel like an old beauty blender would work great for this.❤️ tfs 😊

[@julieveitia2979]

Wow! No one would know you started with plastic buckets!

[@maryherbert2709]

The wash is what really makes it look like galvanized steel. Terrific! I really like this a lot. Tfs.👍

[@L8deeBug]

Your technique is excellent!! Thank you for sharing.

Looks great! 💕 Love 💕 them❣️

FABULOUS! I love making faux galvanized projects! This is awesome! Loved it! 😍😍

[@OrganizeCreateDecorate]

I am overjoyed that I came across your video on how to paint galvanized steel. My Daddy was a tinner and worked with galvanized sheet metal so I wanted to do a faux finish on our dining table. All I could find was zinc tutorials. They look nice, but are not the same! Now I can pay tribute to him the right way! Thank you so very much!

[@sherrieh847]

Cool! Love how these turned out. I'm going to try your technique on cardboard storage boxes I've picked up at garage sales. They're sturdy and great for organizing but some are covered with down-right ugly print. This will be a way to get the ugly ones to compliment those which are more pleasing just as they are. I think I'll seal them, first, with a thin coat of spray poly or something that (hopefully) won't wrinkle/pucker the paper/cardboard, giving me a better base to do the faux galvanized painting, wash, and Mod Podge. Several years ago, I painted faux galvanized on the edges of an ugly 80's, laminated particle board, L-shaped office desk I found on FB Marketplace. (Along with making all the surfaces look like they were made from pallet wood, I nailed upholstery tacks into the edge trim spaced evenly about 4 or 5 inches apart. Once all the edges got the galvanized treatment, they looked like rivets--like a band of metal was riveted to the edge instead of laminated edge trim.) I have a new, larger project in mind after the boxes, but I couldn't remember the exact way I did it the first time/which Pinterest folder I put the instructions in🤣! Anyway, when I googled the technique, your video was among those that came up. Glad it did. Even though I was (and still am) happy with the way my desk edges turned out, I really like the triangle effect and the wash that you've created. Using the bright silver is better than what I originally used, too. I used a craft metallic (Fok Art?) for my base (🤣 now that my memory has been jogged). Looking at it now, It reflects some light, but not as nicely as the spray paint you used. Over the metallic, I dabbed with Folk Art Gunmetal and the same Elephant Gray you used. (In my area, no one carries Gunmetal anymore☹.) Thanks for sharing your technique with us all on KZbin. You earned another subscriber💯.

Loved this video and tried your project was fairly easy todo and turn out great

[@candismith8667]

Thanks!!! Great video!

[@cynthiawatson991]

Awesome, who would have thought you could achieve this look with just paint!

[@marshalamberth2305]

I cannot wait to try this. I tried something like this technique on a plastic tray and I wasn't satisfied with the results. I am going to try the "gray wash" on it before I give up on it.

[@donnamorgan4414]

No worries on the nails and makeup! I think we probably could all use a trip to the hair and nail salon right about now with the lockdown and quarantine! You are beautiful and so creative & talented- thank you for sharing! I’m going to attempt this. Crafting is keeping me sane right now! 💖😊

[@kayking3488]

Brilliant

[@graceday7203]

These are great! I can't find the Miracal paint in our area... closest Dollar General is about 4 hours away. But I'm going to try to find something else that will work. I can hardly wait! Thank you so much for sharing. It's like having a friend over to craft with me during our "time out," lol. God bless!

I'm excited for this video. I've been reorganizing my craft room! I think these will look awesome.

[@MamaDaresToDIY]

Yay!! Me too! Im not even kidding when I say its a huge struggle for me to organize!!! Im so excited to use these!!

[@cathygreaves1586]

This is perfect timing! I want to galvanize a trash bin for my one bathroom. I love how yours looks!! And btw---we're not here to look at your nails. We want to see what you make & how you make it.

[@barbarakirby2740]

Love it, I miss Dollar Tree so much, but we must stay in! Thanks for sharing!

[@donnaadamssquirrelgirlcrea9508]

How awesome is this technique. I love the way they look. I have tomato box's for storage in my craft room. I'm going to try it on them. They are cardboard but hopefully it will turn out.

[@GieshaEyed]

I come back to your video time and again!!! Can you tell us how the mod podge has held up over the last 2 years? Does it scrape off the plastic?? Would you recommend a clear coat spray paint instead? (I’d prefer mod podge but I want these to last in my art room with use!) Thank you for sharing your talents!!!! ❤❤❤

[@theicequeen4076]

Wow!! I love the galvanized look. The galvanized chargers are $2.50 each at Dollar General so I got the silver ones from Dollar Tree and am going to do them myself :)

[@nancysnell7428]

Have you ever used cinnamon for rust? I really like the way it looks. I am going to try the galvanized method. I am new to your channel, I am looking forward to seeing some of your other projects.

[@marylopez8725]

Love these. I just subscribed to your channel. 😀

[@jillmarieschierbaum6717]

I wonder if you could use a similar technique to make them look like enamel?

[@catdavis5373]

i have said it before if i love it it is almost always you.

[@Winternight11]

Can I use acrylic paint instead of chalk paint? Not sure what the difference is yet.

[@sherriesmith33]

My Walmart doesn’t carry Waverly chalk paint what do recommend to use.

[@amandageorge2887]

Hey Carrie, new here and love these and love your channel. Quick question and I didn't see that anyone else had asked and I didn't see you mention it in your vid but instead of Mod Podge could you use a spray sealer instead? Thanks in advance.

[@suegoss9314]

How can u paint plastic storage bins with out using spray paint
