- In this video i will show you have to Prep a stainless steel tumbler with out having to use spray paint. This is a lot of help especially in the winter if you do not have a place to spray paint or if you do not want to smell the fumes from the spray paint.
Thanks for testing this! I needed a solution for the winter when it’s too cold to spray outside ❄️⛄️
You are so welcome!! I have a bunch of other tricks i am also testing out!! When i get a minute i have a couple more ill be posting!!
Why didn't I think of this before and I bought a whole pack of that paint from Walmart??? Thank you so much for the reminder because I hate spray paint and I have a ton of it...lol. Now I can give the paint away. Yeppie!!!!
Thank You
You are welcome!! I have tons of spray paint from before I started doing this to!
Omg thank you for this video!! Ive been trying to figure out if i can just use acrylic paint on tumblers without having to do a massive prep session first!
I have so much acrylic paint so thank you!!
Your welcome!!
Oh thank you for this video. I was wondering about the craft paints. This sure helped Love your video. TFS ❤️
Your welcome!!!
Cool idea. Thanks.
Thank you!!
Thank you! I needed a solution for running/dripping paint!
Your welcome!!
@@mamabairsdesigns3852 first layer is looking great! No drips. Hoping the brush lines will disappear
@@staceycollins5325 if you put it on a tad thicker they will go away! I also found that if your glittering the glitter will hid what you have left of brush strokes! I also started using my heat gun to dry the paint faster
That is awesome. I won't have runs in painting with acrylic paint.
I use acrylic paint as a base for all my cups! Depending on the color or how I’m making my tumbler I usually do about 2-3 coats. Acrylic dries incredibly fast!
Yes and it's so easy and the paint dries super fast!
Have you ever had issues with cracking? Do you seal after you paint the base with acrylic prior to epoxy/brite tone?
Acrylic paint by itself does not bind to stainless steel
Thanks for the video. Can you do mod podge instead of epoxy? Thank you.
Yes you can do modge podge instead of epoxy. I just prefer the epoxy way bc you have more of a chance of not putting the modge modge on evenly and getting lumps.
Just a thought, since paint is sticky- if working fast enough, do you think you can put glitter over the paint before it drys? That way you save money on modpodge/epoxy, Then epoxy to seal? I just ordered a turner and I’m waiting on it to arrive so i can start making tumblers. But this is a thought I’ve had for a while
That I have never tried. But I did see someone the other day added cheat glitter to a can of paint for those bedroom and when it dried it was super shiny
I use brite tone to seal my tumblers and apply my glitter do you think this will affect the acrylic paint? Since it's water based?
No it shouldn’t.
I actually use this method also, it is much cheaper and your not breathing in the fumes from spray paint
I love using this method!! It’s so amazing and so much easier and cheaper!
Thanks for this tutorial. Liked and Subscribed with the 🔔 on!
Thank you!!!
Since this is acrylic paint, do I still have to wait a couple of days before applying glitter?
Nope! I dry it with my heat gun quick and then do my glitter the epoxy way
I wish I found this video earlier, I already mixed epoxy with white acrylic paint on to my tumbler , problem is the top edge of the cup and bottom edge show the stainless steel , could it be possible to add the white acrylic paint over it and add epoxy after it dries?
TIA , it’s my first tumbler
Yes you can most definitely do the paint after that dries. Make sure to sand it and then wash it really good. Then add the paint.
@@mamabairsdesigns3852 thanks so much! 💕
@@astridelias5316 your welcome!!
Did you make a follow up video?
I am working on one ! It should be posted in 2 days!
Hello, this is helpful because I live in NY and winter is approaching. This helps especially if I want to do different colors. One question. Do you buff the tumbler before or after applying the paint? I make rhinestone tumblers
I don’t buff the tumblers after. I’ve never done rhinestone ones though
Have you figured this out? I do rhinestone tumblers too and that's what im wondering also!
Can you use different colors of craft paint to get a different color base coat?
Yes
Do you sand the tumbler first?
Yes! You always want to sand your tumblers first!!
With this method, are you able to get the paint smooth enough to not apply glitter? I'm looking for a good method to paint the cups for those who don't want glitter. Also, would using a roller to roll it onto the cup be better for leaving it the paint color?
When you aren’t adding glitter I would either use a foam brush or a roller that has a foam brush.
Mica powders works good to it has a bit of a simmer but I'm sure you can buy it without it the mica are pricey but you only need a little bit and they last forever
@@hunny81 that’s awesome to know! I’ve never tried it that way!
Can you use colored glitter glue as a base coat?
I would think so but I’ve never tried it myself
Will the acrylic paint work with alcohol ink?
This I have not tried. But I will assume when doing it you are adding the ink to your epoxy and putting it on that way? This is the only way I have done it myself.
Do you know if you’re supposed to always sand the tumbler before you start painting or adding glitters? Because yours seems like it wasn’t sanded down. Please help.
Yes you should always do that to give it something to bond with. Mine was sanded down but I don’t go crazy with the sanding.
I was wondering the same thing, your cup had so much shine I couldn’t tell if I should skip sanding or not.. I was just about to pop open a bottle of paint and begin and something said check your video one more time before I get started thank goodness I did, thanks again!
After u sams ur cup do u prime it?
I just sand then wash then paint
Does this technique also work with prepping the stainless steel tumbler if you were going to use alcohol inks on them instead of glitter? I'm at an apartment where I can't really use spray paint! Thank you!
Yes it does!! And when doing wood grain it adds a great effect to it!
@@mamabairsdesigns3852 okay thank you! I asked someone else and they said that it wouldn't stick on the epoxy if it wasn't spray painted but instead painted it like you did! Thank you so much!
@@Hlfpnt your welcome!! The only thing epoxy won’t stick to is plastic and silicone
@@mamabairsdesigns3852 okay thank you again!
Your welcome!!
Do you sand after applying the 2 to three coats of paint?
No I don’t I sand after I apply glitter and 2 coats of epoxy
I want to try acrylic paint or alcohol inks, switch one u think better?
For prepping acrylic paints. When doing a design either alcohol inks or micas.
@@mamabairsdesigns3852 thanks, i got some acrylic paints ill have try
What if I’m not adding glitter how do I coat the paint before adding a design
I would put it on thicker and use a foam brush
Can you use any brand of acrylic paint for tumblers?
I would think so. I just use the cheap stuff
would glitter stick to the last coat of paint? 🧐
It just might! I never tried
What kind of pain do you use
i use the cheap acrylic paint in the craft section from walmart
What happens if you do not sand your tumbler before you add epoxy?
Epoxy doesn’t bond well
To a flat surface and the tumblers come with a coating on them. Which in the end could result in all your hard work sliding right off
What kind of brushes do you use? I have tried many kinds of brushes including the foam kind and always have brush lines.
I use just a cheap paint brush or whatever I have laying around and I put the paint on thick. When you are covering with glitter you wont see the brush lines.
Can you use matte paint as well?
Yes this is matte!
@@mamabairsdesigns3852 ok the bottle you showed in the video was gloss. I've tried using acrylic paint myself and the brush strokes look horrible.
A new technique I figured out is when you do the paint drop it on and push it around while the cup is spinning. And use a sponge brush. I'm getting way better results this way. And I'm also putting the paint on thicker. Hope this helps!
Did you sand it first?
Yes I did sand it first
Is it sanded?
Yes
Are there any brush streaks once its done like if im leaving the cup white
It depends on how you do it and the type of brush you use. Some times I have brush strokes sometimes I don’t
Did you sand your tumbler 1st?
Yes! Always sand first until you get that metal smell! And then wash with dawn dish soap
@@mamabairsdesigns3852 do you have to use dawn??
@@spiritwings4592 you don’t have to use dawn. But I have found that if I use any other ones I tend to get a lot of fish eyes and end up having to do more coats. I’m not sure why either.
Can you use Brite Tone instead of Epoxy using this method?
Mary Gasseling that I do not know. I’ve never used bright tone
Mary Gasseling I use Extreme Protection and finish up with Brite Tone after I add my designs.
@@BrownShugaLady what is brite tone? I haven’t heard of this?
@@mamabairsdesigns3852 It’s an alternative to epoxy, that’s water based. Look up Crystalac to find out more information.
@@BrownShugaLady oh! I’ve been looking at that and I’ve been thinking about trying it.
Can you use chalk paint?
I would say yes. I have before. Make sure to sand the metal some first
What is the color call
Just white
I tried this method and the paint wanted to chip away from the top where you drink and I did it finish to end and washed by hand too
Did you sand your tumbler and wash it after you sanded it before you painted?
@@mamabairsdesigns3852 yes mam I did
This was a coated tumbler too
@@cindyphillips8454 you already coated it with epoxy?
Yes I have
You don't have problems with brush srokes?
Not at all 😊
Everytime this the paint come off
I’ve never had an issue with the paint coming off. Did you sand your tumbler?
