Any suggestions on what type of paint to use.... *should they

brush so self leveling paint would help.

Thanks in advance !!!

I painted mine a couple of years ago with Krylon plastic paint. So far

Really is interesting to hear a success story painting shutters.

Mind telling us what you did as far as cleaning, sanding, priming or
whatever? Do they get much sun morning/afternoon? What area are you
located?
