Painted coolers are essential for college social events. Wether it's for a mountain weekend, horserace, or just to chill your favorite drinks- theres no doubt these coolers are works of art. Here are some pictures of a cooler I made for a fraternity formal.
Some tips for making the perfect cooler:
1. Start by priming the cooler. Many cooler are colored so this will not only help the paint to stick but also give you a good base.
2. Instead of free-handing all the designs, try tracing. Your lines will be straighter and dimensions correct.
3. Get Sharpie paint pens. I used these for some details on this cooler and now swear by them! They're much easier to write with than an awkward paintbrush.
4. Make sure to buy a clear acrylic coating to protect your cooler from chipping. I used Krylon- Crystal Clear.
Happy crafting!
