Thanks. I need to “gloss” an outdoor pot. I’m going to use shellac spray. Any better ideas?
Hello, High gloss spray paint might be the perfect solution. Spray paints have come a long way now having plastic friendly options and paint and primer formulations. There are so many spray paint choices.
I did a series of mismatched plastic planters last year with a metallic oil rubbed bronze using Rustoleum universal paint. It was a wonderful upgrade and a fabulous opportunity to cohesively unite the planters.

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.
Tip: Use of 2X Ultra Cover Primer in White provides better paint coverage and color.
