How To Paint A Bubba Keg

Posted on by George C. McMaster McMaster

If you are thinking of painting your own bubba keg, this tutorial will help you to know where to start.

What Is A Bubba Keg?

A bubba keg is an insulated mug, designed specifically to keep your drinks cold on a hot day. Larger than a standard mug, it is the perfect way to cut back on trips to the bar while on vacation. They even float in the water, making them a fantastic choice for use while relaxing on the water.

How To Paint A Bubba Keg

  1. The first step in painting your own big bubba keg is to decide how much and which parts of your keg you are going to paint and which parts you are going to leave plain. Once you have made your decision, use painters’ tape to cover all the sections of the keg that you don’t want to paint.
  2. Using a metal primer, spray the metal part of your bubba keg. You can choose the color of primer that you like best, however bear in mind that the color you select can be used as your base coat to avoid having to paint over the metal parts a second time. Once you have sprayed on the metal primer, let it dry before moving on to the next step.
  3. While waiting for your metal primer to dry you can design your chosen pattern that you wish to paint onto your bubba keg cup. Once the primer has dried, you can begin painting your design using acrylic paint. Remember that you will need enough paint to do multiple coats and leave enough time to allow each coat to fully dry before applying the nepainted bubba kegxt coat. It is advised to use a layer of Mod Podge between each coat so that your paint does not chip. Once you have finished painting, allow the last coat to fully dry.
  4. Once your top coat of paint has completely dried, apply a coat of Mod Podge and allow it to fully dry before applying the final coat of Mod Podge.
  5. Once your top coat of Mod Podge has finished drying, spray on a waterproof polyurethane sealant and allow this to dry before spraying it with the sealer one more time. These coats should be very thin, otherwise it will remain oily. Of course, it goes without saying that you should choose a clear waterproof sealer so that your design shows through!
  6. Pull the painters’ tape off the rest off your bubba keg, and enjoy your first cold drink!
