    I have painted plastic / resin house shutters with very good success. I cleaned them using a power washer, let dry and painted them with spray paint. Make sure the spray paint can be used on plastic. I also have painted resin garden planters. My shutters were painted about 10 years ago, never had any peeling. With that said, I would definitely try painting the chairs. Good luck

    Eileen gave my suggestion! I have had good luck cleaning them also with the Mr. Clean eraser heavy duty sponges, but the power washer would be a lot quicker.

    Hello! Yes absolutely!

    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 resin chair rehab.
