Painting My Diving Board...Again

 Back in 2018 I shared how I painted my stained & dingy diving board with Dixie Belle Paint...

You can read that post HERE.

It was so colorful & pretty, & it held up beautifully.

Last year, we had to get a new liner. The paint colors didn't match well with the new liner. So, of course, I painted the diving board again!

As before, I taped off sections with painter's tape to create stripes. Then used Dixie Belle paint colors that better matched the new liner.

The colors I used were Fluff, Cobalt, In The Navy, French Linen, & Dusty Blue.

Because of the texture of the diving board, some of the paint did bleed under the tape. So I used a small, flat artist brush to touch it up.

I sealed the diving board with Dixie Belle's Gator Hide. Gator Hide is water repellant so it's perfect for outdoor use. It adds a slight sheen to create a nice satin finish.

Diving in to Summer with another Dixie Belle makeover...

While I had my paint out, I updated my terracotta pots using the color Cobalt, leaving a little of the terracotta peaking through...

Dive In With Dixie Belle

Pools are a must have here in the South where the heat and humidity make is miserable to be outside in the Summer. And, I feel very fortunate to have one!

Plus, it's beautiful to look at even in the Winter,

well, except for the diving board. Over time, it has become discolored and not pleasing to the eye. Even with pressure washing, it never gets back to its original bright white.

 So, I did what I do with everything that needs a little sprucing up...

I painted it with Dixie Belle Paint!

I started with a base coat of the color Sea Glass...

 I randomly taped off sections and filled them in with the colors, The Gulf, Tree Frog Green, Bunker Hill Blue, & Fluff.

What a difference!!!

 A coat of Dixie Belle's water repellent sealer, Gator Hide, and my diving board makeover should be good for years to come.
