How to restore the faded color of PVC outdoor storage sheds?
+10
I have two old PVC storage sheds. The top and base were a nice green/teal color but are now faded and look old and tired (like me!). What could I use to restore the color? Armor-all doesn't last long, I'm afraid any oil would not be good for the plastic. I'm thinking some kind of auto wax but am unsure of what kind.

Honestly they are sheds just wondering why would you bother painting etc.

Good to know Becky, thanks. I like my outdoor items to look as nice as my interior. I've seen sheds looking so tired from fading and that makes the yards look unkempt.

This is a great idea ! I don't think that squirrels or raccoons or opossums can eat thru PVC sheds and PVC cans or other PVC structures...and if they try to gnaw thru them - the paints should poison them and after they die you can bury them and have one less aggravating yard pest to battle !

Just spray it with Armorall (tire restorer) they will look like new

I use regular house paint on them. Then paint large igunas, tiki people, what ever on them. Lasts forever.

Ño, I just use a large paint brush and paint two thin coats of paint. I live in Florida and they get alot of sun. Ño idea how it would hold up in the north. If you match your house you can hardly tell it's there! I've painted dozens of them to sell and have had no complaints. Have fun.
