Painting Shutters
Posted: Wed Aug 12, 2015 7:44 pm
I have 6 outside plastic shutters that I've tried to paint. They were red but over the years have faded. I want to paint them a medium blue. Bought a gallon of Olympic Exterior latex acrylic paint per recommendation from sales person. I have removed the shutters, washed them with a detergent, let dry a day and painted them. The paint is not sticking except in a few places.
Took a pressure washer and removed all the paint that would come off. Let dry.
Bought a primer that is suppose to be for vinyl, applied and let dry for a day. It's not sticking to the shutters either.
Need idea's on what to do to get the paint to stick. Really don't want to buy spray paint because I want them to match the front door that I painted with the blue and I'd have no use for the 3/4 can of paint.
Thanks for any help.
