Garden pot painting in Kenya
Decorate garden pots using suitable coatings and original designs.
A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional product batch: paint the exterior of ten customer-approved 20 cm terracotta decorative pots in two colours, five of each, with one sample approved first. Leave drainage functional and use an actual paint/primer system compatible with the substrate and intended exposure. Plants, food-contact surfaces, edible-use claims and chemical mixing recipes are excluded. Follow current product labels/SDS for preparation, ventilation, PPE, application and curing rather than assuming any craft paint works outdoors.
Who is the first customer?
Plant shops, gift buyers and households.
Test the offer
Paint a few samples and test adhesion and intended outdoor exposure.
