    Hello what kind if furniture plastic or metal?

    There are spray paint formulation for both!


    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. 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.


    Additionally- I painted a metal mesh type metal furniture and I used to spray paint. I prepped and cleaned the set carefully— sanded it away any loose finish or rust and then again used a Rustoleum spray


    The before and after was a remarkable accomplishment. I like the oil rubbed bronze finish much better than the white finish.


    Best wishes with your patio furniture rehab!

    I spray paint my outdoor furniture every few years with RustOleumn paint. It freshens it up and brings back any color that may have faded.
