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've used them on plastic ..so has my grand daughter who loves to buy those stained glass (plastic) kits and when the paint that comes with it are dried out, she uses my paints. Looks great every time.

It's kind of like pvc material so I think you can paint but I would definitely consult with the paint shop first to find out about prep and all

I asked this question myself -- and was told by West Music's Alex Adams (one of the folks who made the YouTube video on Remo drums) that the skin of the Buffalo drum is not absorptive, it's a bit like naugahyde vinyl. That quality plus being constantly beat means that it would be very difficult for any paint to last. I did not ask about painting the sides, however, and they are covered with a fairly rough burlap feeling material. That may have potential. . . .

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.

Any plastic paint (like plasti dip) that resists a little heat would do. Just make sure it's made for plastic.

Never tried over spray paint, but I would assume that it would work. Paint is paint.

I didn't use it for outdoors. For outdoors I prefer Patio Paint. I really recommend "Patio Paint" for outdoors or Martha Stewart paints.

Yes. I have used it on a car window and black chalkboard and you can see it clearly either way. I wouldn't see why a black plastic pot would be any different.

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.

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

They can be used outside. They might start to rust over time, but you can hit them with some spray paint if that happens.

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.

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'd say paint will be fine. I've used mod Podge on them frequently. But they are basically thick chipboard, so not sure about baking. You get 50 of them, so you could do an experiment.

I have not tried as the four I have built were for storage areas or closets and I was fine with the black resin. I suppose if you bought a quality plastic paint and painted them up before hand that it could be done easy enough.

You would have to use a paint product made specifically for plastic. Other types of paint would easily peel off.
