In Traditional Tole, Oil paint was, and still is, the medium used.

Poke a hole in top of coffee tin for brushes to sit, you can also paint the tin

Take care to wash brushes carefully after use. They will last longer and hold their shape longer too. Saves you money in the long run.

Many light coats of paint are better than one or two heavy coats. Always add a little water to your paint for nice shear coats.
