My outdoor table and chair set was given to me about 2-3 years ago and the cushions were previously painted bright blue with some kind of weather-resistance paint. The paint is starting to wear off, but the cushions are still in very good condition. I want to re-paint the cushions, but don't know what product was used before. The lady that painted them before has since passed away, so I can't ask her. I have looked at craft stores, but haven't found any fabric paint that is specifically weather-resistant. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

Acrylic craft paints such as Patio Paint should do the job. Also, regular acrylic craft paints are very weather/fade resistant. I painted a foam flower pot several years ago and it still looks great. You can get both of these at craft stores.

Krylon makes a spray paint that is specific for plastic. It's still a good idea to take some fine sandpaper over the chairs first to lightly rough up the surface so the paint will stick. I painted my parents plastic outdoor table and chairs and after 3 years it still looks great!

Wow this is a new one on me. Considering the environmental abuses of OUTdoor; and the fact that Cushions flex; I'd be interested in knowing also.
With all due respect; it might be as much to your advantage to just replace them?
