How well would it work to paint over black plastic drums? These will be used to plant garden plants in so they will be out in the weather year around.

I used it to paint a plastic slide that has been out in the weather all year long. My grandchildren played on the slides again this weekend and I noticed that the paint had held up very nicely. However, there were some tiny places that the paint had come off but can easily be touched up.

As Krylon Fusion is advertised as "Bonds to Plastic" and "The no-prep, superbond paint for Plastic", I'd guess that it should work well on 'plastic drums' used for outdoor garden planters. I used Krylon Fusion to paint Trangia (polythene) fuel bottles (originally red) with green Fusion paint, even after online research told me "paint would not stick to polythene." I wanted to visually distinguish 'alcohol fuel bottles' from 'coleman fuel bottles'. Due to the polythene material, I allowed a longer (overnight) drying time, and applied two coats. I've been very pleased and impressed with the results, and the paint seems to be fairly resistant to fuel that spills onto the paint. I don't know your plastic drum composition, but I'd guess Krylon Fusion should work pretty well for your use and outdoor environment.

I have never used them for outdoor projects. Once dry it takes a lot to get rid of acrylic paint, so my guess is it will last you for a while, but just to be sure you could put a layer of clear outdoor paint on top of it.

That's an idea. I'll try this weekend and see what happens. They might actually stick better to a metal surface than a painted surface. I'll put up another response in a couple days.

I use these for keeping indoor plants wet while on vacation (summer time-usually 2 weeks). There's no reason why they won't work outdoors if they're not allowed to freeze. I do believe they will dry up pretty quickly if not protected from direct sun. Be aware they're kind of squishy when slit open and allowed to keep plants watered and the gel may coat the soil surface over time. Looks a little strange, but the gel is eventually absorbed by the plants and disappears.

It is made from PVC material, but it has a very smooth surface. So yes, I would think you could paint it but be deliberate about it. If it were me, I would use an oil based primer and a high quality outdoor paint. Benjamin Moore has a waterborne alkyd paint called "Advance" that I think would be good, if they can provide it in a color you like. Anyway, when I say good quality paint I'm not talking about stuff you can buy at Home Depot. All this might be overkill, but I think it is worth being deliberate on surfaces like this outdoors.

Im not 100% sure. As long as its plastic not glass you should be fine. Just dont go to dark with it because its pretty much water down paint. So the more layers you put on the less light shines through. At sum point it would just be like taking spray paint to them. And do them all at once if you want them to match.

These are very SMALL quantities to use on walls, so I assume you're doing small designs? I don't see why they wouldn't be just fine--they are acrylic and would behave as they do on paper or any other object being decorated. I do not have a value for how long they would last, but keeping designs out of direct sunlight should help--and away from tiny hands too!.............m

I have used them for frost protection, and they have worked well. Except last year was an exceptionally heavy frost and they did not save the plants. Since i live in Southern California, that was probably a mild frost by MA standards!

If you tried to paint these planters I seriously doubt whether the paint would stick to them. They are made out of kind of a molded synthetic material that I do not think is meant to be painted. That is part of the beauty of the planter -- low maintenance and durable.

I think it may be a bit thick for plastic and won't work. You are probably much better off with a specialty spray like Rustoleum plastic or Kylon Fusion. Those are made for plastic specifically. Also, just being a bit handy, I would rough up the Nerf gun with some fine sandpaper before spraying this way you have a better surface to stick to. Here's a link to the plastic paint: http://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-211338-Paint-Plastic-12-Ounce/dp/B0002YPHFC/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1374670105&sr=1-1&keywords=plastic+paint

No way will using this material hold up outside in sun (UV Rays) and other type of weather. Also, it would rip very easily when climbing a ramp. You would be better off with installing some kind of wire fabric fastened by plastic wire ties or some other type of mounting hardware. If they are wooden ramps, why don't you just paint them with a paint that has grit added (or add it yourself), or maybe Rustoleum or Sherwin Williams has some product that would be ideal for the application....

I used two coats (1 can) on an outdoor potting bench, which is on the sunny side of my house in AZ (very hot and sunny all summer). So far it's done well, no problems. And it's not really rated for outdoor use. I can't really answer your question because I didn't do what you're asking about, but I hope this helps.

Haven't painted them myself but as they are made of plastic you should use a plastic primer first ot a direct to plastic paint. Hope this helps

I suppose you could paint the colored PVC, but they are very nice to begin with, the colors is what makes them a nicer set than most.

My son painted them. I know that he used spray paint, but I think that most paints would work on this.

I believe the paint would wear/chip off due to weather. These rocks are great. And no paint to get all over you.
