Created a hanging garden setup using PVC pipe and a couple plastic 5 gal
buckets. Technically fine but ugly white. Wondering what paints work
best in exterior situations? Based on the size spray or brush would be
equally usable. Wish to get one or two seasons at least though.



Tomorrow during business hours, go to this web site, find a phone number,
and call the company. Do exactly what they tell you. Ignore everything you
hear in this newsgroup unless it exactly matches what the Krylon person
tells you.

I can say this with confidence after being an advisor to some eclectic kid
projects over the years, like a stenciled pattern on a football helmet,
which had to be ready to use in under 2 hours, for use in rain, at 34
degrees F.


Yes, well, there are probably many different paints that will work with
plastic, but I'm a fan of Krylon, also, and they do make a formulation
for plastic. I don't think you need any technical advice from HQ,
though. Just go buy the stuff and spray it on, following standard spray
can guidelines, of course.
