Plastic playhouse

I have an older fisherprice outdoor playhouse. I bought it real cheap thinking I would make a cute chicken coop. I haven't done it yet. It's almost too cute. Any suggestions or ideas on what to use it for? Children all grown, but thought I could save it for grandchildren. Right now it looks pretty rough. Being old, it's all faded. I tried that paint made for plastic and it still just chipped of from all the rain. So I could also use any suggestions on how to paint it. Thanks.

Usually the paint for plastics works great. My guess is it wasn't completely cleaned of all soil or soap residue or completely dry before you painted it. I'm guessing this because this is what probably happened to me when I painted some flower pots. Most it stayed on perfectly but others had some areas that didn't hold up so well. With that in mind you might want to try again and make sure you rinse it well and make sure it's completely dry before you paint it. Maybe just do a small area so you don't waist time and money on the whole thing before you test it.

If I am not mistaken, there is one on this site that someone did. If not, it is on Pinterest. Absolutely adorable.

I'd love to see a picture (Fisher Price produced a variety of playhouses), I'm imagining all kinds of garden applications.
