Painting PVC pipe
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. www.krylon.com 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. |

Painting PVC pipe
Paint choice is less significant than primer choice. Based on some
recommendations from a few local contractors, I used Glidden Gripper Primer from Home Depot .. .. .. works GREAT !! !! !!

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. |

Heh. :-) Maybe by tomorrow, this thread will grow to the size of the one about the neighbor's dead tree. |

My hubby used a plastic primer, probably Krylon, to paint some light posts in our condo yard - 'bout three years ago? Spray painted dark green. Holding up fine, no peeling, lots of sun. |

Not sure if their formula has changed since, though. Krylon makes a spray paint made for plastics. |
