I know I never new you were supposed to sand it first. I'm totally new and would love to start making cups. That's the first time I've ever seen or heard of Sanding your cups before putting anything else on it.

[@tanyasnyder9033]

The bon ami scrub- is this the same as using comet?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

I would think so. Its a gritty cleaning agent so it's similar. Just be sure to since it off very well.

[@SoISaidPod]

What if I have a coated tumbler? Do I still sandpaper it? Can I still spray paint it?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

yes you'd prep and paint the same way

Thank you! I've yet to do a tumbler, so this was most helpful!

[@beyou3797]

Will this work with hand painting ? And what kind of paint is best to use for that ? And seal ?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

You can hand paint with acrylic paint. Nothing oil based. You wouldn't have to seal paint before you epoxy over it.

[@TheElizajm7907]

This video helped a lot!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@sonjabritford1175]

This was great! Thank you so much for this very thorough video. I watch your videos all the time, but it was great to see the beginnings steps, in great detail. I’d love to see a follow up and the one a video like this. One where you show how to proceed from where you left off. ( I know you have so many detailed videos, but I think we would all enjoy another super thorough tutorial) you are awesome. You are so creative and have such a draw to you

[@elizabethkeating4033]

Ahh this makes me so happy!! I have so many colors I want to buy, but they’re glossy. Good to know they can still be used. ❤️❤️

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Happy to help!

[@tylerpatton5855]

Awesome video. I do have one question though? Is there some kind of clear coat you can apply on the tumbler after painting to protect it? Also what do you do I'd you get some paint residue on the inside of the tumbler?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Hey there! This video explains how we would paint tumblers in prep for sealing with epoxy resin. I’m not sure what kind of spray you could use to seal paint permanently on the tumbler that would also be food safe like epoxy resin is. If you get paint inside the cup you’d clean it up with acetone and paper towels then wash with dish soap and water

[@janineoliver6549]

Jessica, have you ever done a comparison between final sand and bar keepers friend to make a matte finish tumbler?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

no but i could

[@janineoliver6549]

That would be awesome. I would like to know if they are equal in the finish! As a canadian, final sand is harder to get and bar keepers friend is available at local hardware stores.

[@missygray5429]

Great tips and tutorial. Thanks 😊

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Thanks for watching!

[@robertsonbrittany17]

I wish I had watched this video before I started spraying my boyfriend’s brother’s neon green cup! Lol this will help me fix it though, thank you!

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Glad it was helpful!

[@liciagr26]

Can you use a steel wool or Brillo pad instead of the maroon pad? Not sure if the results will basically be the same

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

You basically just want to scuff up the steel to give the paint something to adhere to. Brillo should work but you want to wash very well after to remove whatever chemicals they add to the brillo

[@liciagr26]

@@FlynnSistersBoutique ok thank you

[@kiddo1071]

Do you have to sand your cup? Could I use a painted cup from 5 below?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

I prep my tumblers by sanding for the best adhesion of base paint and glitter etc. I am not familiar with painted cups from 5 below so I can comment properly on that.

[@estefaniavictoria5644]

Do i have to base the tumbler with a spray paint if im going to use acrylic?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

You dont have to

[@carolannebrunn3414]

Could you suggest what paint to paint on metal mixing bowls?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

I don't think epoxy in a mixing bowl is a good idea, considering how roughly they can be handled. Electric mixers, etc.

Then any spray paint should work fine. Prep as you would with a stainless tumbler and epoxt to seal the paint and additional designs.

[@CH-nv2dc]

This is very helpful for me, I'm a beginner. How do you get the paint and epoxy out of the inside of the cup if any gets in there?

Blade for epoxy. Acetone with a magic eraser for the paint. Then wash with soap and water.

[@bb_lars2711]

I know this is an older video of yours but no one has answered this questioned that I have seen. How do you not get any pain inside your cup when spraying it? The epoxy and glitter part is more controlled but the paint I would think would get inside of the cup.

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

You can spray our on a turn table upside down. If you don't do that, you can use acetone and a magic eraser to clean up spray paint

[@charlottemcnulty9194]

Is it better to sand and clean tumbler before doing the epoxy? Does it have a different look to the finish look?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Yes. You sand and clean to prep the surface for proper adhesion and the overall longevity of the tumbler.

[@pablosanz6100]

Great tutorial well done .

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

thank you!

[@beewilly4]

Are the arteza paints considered base paints? In addition, can you just use a base paint besides arteza to brush on.

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

You can use them as base paints. You can use acyrlic paint as a base.

[@Fiftyfinehealth]

Thank you! ❤️this helps a bunch👍🏾

[@pageantgirl224]

Can anyone tell me if I need to do anything different for a black colored cup with texture??

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

I’d just sand it like usual to prep

[@rebeccarampy8340]

Would a sealer necessary?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

For the base paint? No, only if you’re epoxying directly over the paint and even then it’s pretty rare to need to seal the paint first

[@jillianhudgens4316]

OK I will it mitt the first time I watched my ADHD kicked in so I skipped a little bit I did my first spray paint on a cup and had a little issue this time I took my time and it came out perfect based on your tips thank you so much. I’m still holding it in my hand as I type this and I’m in shock lol

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

Thank you 😊 happy to hear that

[@cindifairchild1846]

What sealer (if any) would you use on metal tumblers that were decorated with paint pens? I got 2 for Mothers Day from my gkids and don’t want the paint to come off when using or washing.

Epoxy

When you use acrylic paint on the tumbler do you paint it like it you would if you were painting on any others craft

[@countrywench2310]

How many cups do you get out of one spray can approx ?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

I’m not sure. At least 10

[@shanashomediycrafts]

Great tutorial

[@ninaponcia]

If I’m not using glitter do I still have to spray paint

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

You dont have to spray paint if you're keeping your tumbler stainless. You do want to sand to prep the surface and that will leave scuff marks that will show under epoxy.

[@EmilyMineDesigns]

Saving the nozzles is genius! See, I even learn something from a basic video! Thanks so much Jess 💜

Ok so mine is running..(painted before I seen video)..any way of fixing it without stripping it?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

If you're covering it with a darker glitter, it will be fine. If you're using a white or opal glitter, runs can show so you will want to remove the paint and spray again.

[@kfuzzyr]

Thank you so much

[@bonitajohnson4720]

Hello iam new to this but I have a question I sand and spray painted my tumbler ...when it dried I put epoxy on it and it bubble up like it would not stick...how can I fix it?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

You’ll probably want to soak your tumbler in acetone to remove all that and try again. Sounds like your paint wasn’t shaken enough or your brand of epoxy doesn’t like that particular spray paint

[@kattiaesixx]

You are beautiful and wonderful. I want to ask how long do I wait before I Iapply glue and glitter

How do you not get running because you out a pretty good bit? I had so much running, if I out a little bit it don’t cover it.

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

You want your cup well prepped, spray can shaked long enough. Spray at a good distance with quick movements. Its better to do thin coats, even if they're patchy. Let it dry then repeat as many times as necessary until you have good coverage. If you rush and overdo it, you will have runs in your paint.

[@nmpeplinski]

How do you keep the paint from going into the cup? Or how do you get it out?

[@FlynnSistersBoutique]

if you get any in there you can just wipe it out with acetone and wash your cup out with dish soap and water afterwards
