What paint is good for an outside garden statue?




We have a family heirloom garden statue that is bleached white with age. I’d like to paint it (face, hands, clothes etc.) but not sure what paint to use. Spray paint won’t do because of all the details being small and needing separate colors. Any suggestions?

Old statuary looks so much better ehen you leave it alone.
Use craft paint like Dee suggests. Polyurethane will work well. I also like to use Rustoleum Clear spray paint. Several light coats will give you a smooth finish.
I used a black gloss paint. It brought out the detail and looks so much better then the old dull cement color. A light spray of poly after the paint dried overnight. This has lasted for 5 years now.
Thank you all for replying. Appreciate it😀
