Before starting to transform your plastic chairs, gather all the necessary materials. You will need:
Choose an outdoor area or a well-ventilated space to work in. Lay down a drop cloth or old newspapers to protect the ground from paint spills. Make sure the temperature is suitable for painting, ideally between 50°F and 90°F (10°C to 32°C).
Thoroughly clean the plastic chairs to remove dirt, grease, or residue. Use warm soapy water and a sponge or cloth. Rinse and allow them to dry completely. This step is crucial for ensuring paint adhesion.
Using medium grit sandpaper, gently sand the entire surface of the chairs. This will help the primer adhere better. After sanding, wipe the chairs with a damp cloth to remove any dust particles, and let them dry.
Once the chairs are dry, apply a thin layer of plastic primer spray paint. Hold the spray can about 8-12 inches away from the surface. Apply in light, even coats for the best results. Let the primer dry as per the instructions on the can, usually around 30 minutes to an hour.
After the primer has dried, it's time to paint! Shake the acrylic spray paint can well. Just like with the primer, spray the paint from 8-12 inches away, using light and even coats. Apply at least two coats for a vibrant finish, allowing adequate drying time between coats.
Once the final coat of paint has dried, apply a clear coat for added protection. This will help guard against scratches and fading. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on drying times and application methods to achieve the best results.
After everything has dried completely, your chairs are ready! Remove any masking tape, and clean up your workspace. Your newly painted plastic chairs are perfect for adding a splash of color to your outdoor or indoor space.
