Restoring an Old Vintage Metal Watercolour Paint Palette!

Today I am going to be restoring this old vintage metal watercolour paint palette which I found for a few dollars at a local flea market. It was badly damaged with dents, rust and filth, and probably worthless as an antique or vintage collectable. I felt sorry for it so I gave a new lease on life with a super groovy makeover, and a "one of a kind" customization. Watch on to see how it turned out!

This tin was obviously someone's well used and beloved friend. It's lovely to see it fixed up and made useful again. If the box could thank you, I bet it would. :-)

@BeckyTregear 2 года назад

I like to think that it is happy to be restored and have a new purpose in life once again. 😁

I've never seen anything like this before. A fascinating process from start to finish. YOU. ARE. BRILLIANT.

@BeckyTregear 3 года назад

Thank you! "Restoring" things is a little side hobby but I hope to include more videos like this because it is so much fun!

@loveandlife4222 3 года назад

I love this so much!! My grandma taught me to fix things up whenever you can. I love a good restoration project. I love the lumps and bumps. They are a great reminder of the way it used to be and how beautiful it became. Very nice job!

@BeckyTregear 3 года назад

Thank you! I always feel sad when I see old items that are all beaten up and neglected. They can't always be redeemed, but it is surprising how many things will come back to life with a little restoration. I'm not exactly an expert but I think it's so much fun to see how much I can bring something back, or repurpose it into something else that's useful. 😁

Not sure how I missed this six months ago! I have a weakness for old watercolour palettes, this video has shown me where to next with them. Thank you!

@artbydrbee 3 года назад

Becky, I forgot to say, that it is so wonderful to see something in such poor condition - having a complete transformation! 👏👏👏👏 I think a video like this one inspires others to stop thinking like we normally would, and just throw it out! We do live in a throwaway society, and this can't possibly good for our planet.. it's the only planet we've got! So to see something like this is JUST MAGIC! Thank-you!

Hi Becky, what a fabulous idea, I never thought you could restore something so rusted and old, but it came up a treat, and the galaxy scene looks great, so shiny and glossy, and it would be nice and light to pack into your luggage when going away, hope you have a lovely weekend, thanks for another interesting and enjoyable video, hugs Sarah, 💕💕🥰🥀🥀

@BeckyTregear 3 года назад

Thank you, it was a fun project, especially as I had no idea if it would be successful, haha! It is now in my art bag for going out and maybe even travelling. Ah travel, I remember that! 😂

Thank you! It can be quite difficult to find vintage palettes that aren't completely bent and misshapen, at least in my experience. 😭

@rainshadowgamingart2236 Год назад

I'm surprised you didn't test for lead. Here in the States, I test everything that could be before 1970s just to be safe. It was so prevalent in so many things prior to that. Great restore!

great video Becky, I wanted to spray my plastic palette, not sure that would work but great to see you can use epoxy enamel. I would not have known what to use. Thanks

The enamel is working well! Sometimes it can chip off but so far I haven't had any issues. 🙂
