How can I paint rubber composite planters?




I found the planters I want for my front porch but they are not the color I need. They are made of a rubber composite. Can they be painted and if so, what type of paint can I use?

I would begin with a good outdoor spray primer - Kilz makes a good one- and follow that with your paint color. Add a coat of protective finish to protect the new paint.

Lightly sand the outside of the pot with fine-grit sandpaper and wipe the pot down again using a damp cloth. Put the pots on top of either a drop cloth or plastic sheeting to protect your surface. Spray the pot with your spray paint. Hold the can about 8-10 inches away from the pot and give it a light spray.
