Hi there. I love to free hand paint and I would like to paint on plastic tables, chairs, benches, etc. patio furniture.

I know I should lightly sand the surface - making sure it is very clean - and prime. I know that much.

However, I want to paint a design with a paintbrush - not spray paint.

Anyone tried this? Which paint would I use and how can I make sure it will last?

thanks for any help folks!

I thought about freehand painting my wood bench. An outdoor Behr paint from Home Depot with a marine poly finish should seal it.

The Glider Bench is designed for comfort, durability, and low maintenance. Tall back and extra depth conform to your body for comfortable support ...

I am moving into a home with a cute little side, covered patio. It is rectangular with several small trees on the side. Nothing special. Just some concrete and a wood cover. I currently own some nice deep green plastic chairs and a white bench with table. What colors would you recommend spray painting them? All the same color or separate? Dark wicker planters, stone planters, and a medium stone waterfall will be coming with me as well. Thank you!

Either match the green or beige, white shows dirt so much. If they are nice and pretty now then don't spray paint them until the need to have a nice little touch up to look new again. Does the wood cover need to be treated yet? If so, a nice red cedar finish with the other stuff painted to match would look good.

I don't have room in my condo to store kayak, but there's space on the patio. I've seen really nice plastic storage box/bench for outside, but they all seem to be too short. Is there such a long box that can fit 10' kayak or do I have build one?

Interesting question. I assume that your kayak is plastic. Radiation can degrade the plastic. You may not need a solid box. Consider a fabric bag. Economy, Make a corrugated paper cover and varnish it to make it waterproof. How about two boxes, end to end?
