Spray Painting Plastic Flower Pots

I have spray painted plastic containers. Best technique is to set up a
spray booth with large opened corrugated cardboard box shielding three
sides. Container to be sprayed is inverted on an upside down bucket -
that's for convenience to get the to-be-sprayed containers up off the
ground. Spray first with a primer for better adhesion, then color for
second and third coats. Goes very quickly. Just choose a calm, not
breezy day.
Spray the containers white and that should alleviate the over-heating /
getting too dry issues. Won't eliminate, but should help.
Judy in New Jersey where it is snowing. Forecast has changed from
"ending by 9:00 a.m." to "over by 3:00 p.m."

Hello Mike and All,
Thank you for your kind words about the Lachenalia pictures.
Just a short notice to answer your questions. I grow almost all my Lachenalia in pots, the ones on the pictures are pot grown. Only if I have too many I try them outside in ground but after 2 seasons it clearly shows that they are by far outperformed by the potted plants. The difficulty I have with the black pots is that they become too dry and too hot in my climate during summer so I have to move the pots to a shady place.
I wrote an article on my way of growing bulbs in pots which will appear in one of the next Bulb Garden issues.
Bye for now
Uli
