- Use a round brush to drop/fill the outer tube light of the jukebox with Sunkissed.
- Paint the inner 2 tube lights with 2-3 coats of Cant-elope and Cutie Pie Coral. Be sure to continue painting the tube light colors on the sides of the vase.
- Paint the decorative trim on the base, sides, and around the speaker with 2-3 coats of Blue Isle.
- Fill in the top decorative design with the colors listed above starting with Blue Isle on the outer ring of the design.
- Paint inside the speaker design and glass with 2 coats of My Blue Heaven.

- Once the speaker and glass are dry, you may have to re-sketch/trace the cross-hatching and record/music note designs back on.
- Paint the label of the record album with 2 coats of Cant-elope.
- Using Tuxedo and a detail liner brush, outline all of the decorative trim, song selection panel, and buttons.
- Use Tuxedo to paint in the cross hatching over the speaker, and the speaker hole. Apply 1-2 coats.
- Paint in the music notes and record album with 2 coats of Tuxedo.
- Add dashed detail lines on the song selection panel. Add dashed detail lines around the light tubes on the outside of the jukebox.
- Use a detail liner brush and My Blue Heaven, add highlights and detail marks to the tube lighting, record album, and decorative trim designs.
- Clear glaze and fire to Cone 06. Enjoy! (Tip: Be sure to roll the clear glaze inside of the vase for best coverage).
