Painting

Pacific Wire & Supply, Inc. only uses galvanized wire; however, it may oxidize at the welding points. If forms will be completely covered with plant material by either stuffing or wrapping, no painting is necessary. If you choose to have part or all of the wire form exposed to attain the effect you desire, the most economical method is to dip in the color of paint you choose, let the form dry completely and finish the form using the method for either “Stuffed” “Container” or “Artificial” topiaries. If the paint you choose is thick you can thin it with whatever is recommended on the can. Spray paint can also be used; but it is more difficult to cover all the surfaces of the wire completely.
