Good paint to use to paint my curing jars?

[keith1975]

Light is bad for the jars, so I figured why not just paint it? Is there any specific paint that I need to check for, or would any black paint do the job? Or is there some other flaw with my plan?

Why paint, toss em in a cupboard

Easy peasy

It can be a useful trick. I use one gallon cookie jars for my bud and sometimes I like to transport it or have it out on the shelves so a few years ago I painted a couple of them white with white spray paint. It worked great and they’re still holding up fine. They look just like they’re full of flour or something and people never give them a second glance. I guess they assume I’d never be able to afford that much cocaine. You can also stick labels on them if you want to go all out. Helps block the light if they’re on open shelves.

If you're set on painting them,plastidip spray works well-it's a little rubbery,and it won't chip off.
If you decide you don't want them painted,you can peel it right off.
It comes in a bunch of colors,so you could color code your jars-I have no idea why you'd want to,but you could....

wrap the jar in gorilla tape, lot less messy and dont need to buy paint (unless you already got paint, but if you already got paint you prob got duct tape)

They do make UV resistant mason jars now, but any paint should work--until its chipped.

I don't trust that my cupboard is 100% light-proof!
