A fresh look on old shutters

No. 29 Design
by No. 29 Design
My home is 50 years old with vinyl siding and plastic shutters. Not pretty. I'm making the most of it and in part three of my exterior overhaul, I've spray painted my shutters. It's amazing what a change of color can do. See for yourself.
Before the shutters were a murky shade of green/brown.
Here we are midway. The left side is sprayed black, the right side is untouched. We ran into some bumps along the way, mainly a hornets nest behind one of the shutters.
The new black shutters! I love the blue door against the black shutters.

    Well, I went thru nine of the ten cans. One can had a nozzle problem so I'm taking it back when I go get more cans. They are looking good but, like you, just need one more touch up coat and they will be finished. Wished I'd taken a before picture. Since I'm going from dark blue shutters to white, it's taking more paint to cover. Next I'm doing the front door and side panels. One project leads to another. Thanks.

    I used WipeNew on our plastic shutters and they look like new again. Just did it this fall so can't say how long it'll last but the product says years......A lot easier than spray painting
