Supplies You’ll Need:

• Safety cone (our favorite is the 6” All Orange Traffic Cone™)
• White Acrylic Paint
• Yellow Acrylic Paint
• Orange Acrylic Paint (optional)
• Masking Tape
• Paint Brush

Directions:

1. Determine how thick you would like each color section on your safety cone and use the masking tape to tape off the top (White section) and the bottom (Yellow) sections.
2. Using your acrylic paint, paint the white section first (in case you drip!) then the yellow section. Allow to fully dry before removing masking tape.
3. Optional: use masking tape to cover the fully dried white and yellow section lines before painting the middle orange. This ensures a consistent paint texture and allows you to choose a different shade of orange.
