5)Spray bubble wrap with light coats paint until looks covered. Let paint dry before each coat. The bubble part might be a bit transparent, that’s Ok. Than spray with fixative so gold paint does not flake off. Do this outside & should not try & paint all sides at once. Let dry & turn box over to do other sides until all is painted.
