Hi Marcella. Yes, you definitely can paint plastic. Rustoleum sells a really good spray paint specifically for plastic. Depending on the color you are choosing, you may want to prime it first unless the paint includes the primer. You will probably need a good 2-3 coats. Good luck!
Hi Marcella. I'm Cindy. Rustoleum makes a spray paint made for this exact purpose. Go ahead and take the set. It would be easy to change the color. Good luck Marcella.
Krylon Fusion spray paint. Several light coats will give you a smooth finish.
Agreed with the others here, there’s great spray paints made specifically for plastic. I’ve used both Krylon & Rustoleum, and they both do the job. Just make sure you clean the pieces first. Have fun!
Hello,
I painted my resin Adirondak chairs a few years ago. It was nice to reunite mismatched hand me down chairs into cohesive seating.
I prepped and cleaned the chairs let them dry and then used a Rustoleum plastic friendly spray paint —it has always been my favorite choice for professional results. The rustoleum spray paints often has primer and paint combined in one. The universal series has an excellent designed applicator- easy to use top spray nozzle that can operate in any angle. Ive also used the Painter's Touch 2X Ultra Cover on plastic chairs and planters, great results and coverage.
The before and after was a remarkable accomplishment.
Best wishes with your patio chair furniture rehab to your preferred colors.

Rustoleum recommendations
PREPARE:
Always work in a well-ventilated area. Cover the floor and nearby items with a drop cloth. Lightly scuff any glossy surfaces and wipe clean with a lint-free cloth. Use Painter’s tape to hide any surfaces you don’t want to paint.
PAINT:
Using slow, back-and-forth motions, spray paint each item with several light coats of spray paint, making sure to overlap each stroke slightly. Apply 2-3 coats of spray paint, waiting a few minutes in between each coat.
FINISH:
Let spray paint dry for approximately 1 hour before handling.
Planters can aslo be spray painted too!
