All I can say is EASY. Seriously. I can’t believe how easy this project was, and it adds a lot to my retro kitchen decor. I had everything on hand, so it was basically free. Yay!! Krylon spray paint in “ocean breeze”. I didn’t even primer it. Just taped off the hardware and spraypainted. Here is the best part… despite husband’s concern that the new outer layer of the teapot may render it unusable (i.e. not heat resistant), we have heated water in it daily for weeks, with no problems. Paint looks good as new. Hopefully our tea is not toxic. Totally worth the risk.
