My centerpieces, are a bit too black – well for the overall feel of the room – we need more of the other wedding color – pink. I’m having balck table cloths…so – you can see ho this blends in a bit. (having trouble with the photo.

I have 24 plates, I need 24 plates. If I do one and mess it up…I’m up the creek because I got them clearance at x-mas from Target and CAN NOT find them anywhere for less then $18 for 4 (I paid $1.75 for 4)

Has anyone painted a charger (plastic) or anything else plastic and have any tips or suggestions.

I’m hoping to add sparkle to it. – It’s all about the bing 🙂

I have not painted chargers, but I have done other plastic using Krylon Fusion products. It works great!

You can also find it locally in home improvement stores, but that gives you an idea of the available colors.

I would suggest finding a couple of cheap plates, perhaps at the dollar store, and testing out your technique before working on your chargers. Best of luck!

As long as you use the right paint, you shouldn’t have a problem.

If they are made of plastic, you can spray paint them. Home depot has a variety of colors.
