When neighbors left the apartment complex last year they gave me their 2 white plastic outdoor chairs. The chairs are nice and large and I'd like to save them. They had been sitting outdoors a while and a simple cleaning didn't work well so I bleached them clean. They stayed clean white for a while but since I've stored them indoors for several months they look blotchy yellow. Is there a product that can get them white again, or is there a plastic paint that will stick to the plastic that won't peel when sitting outdoors. I don't want to change the color, really, but the yellow blotches looks bad. Your comments are requested.

I checked it out and found on the net that it's called "Krylon Fusion", the world's first no-prep superbond paint for plastic. No sanding or priming, dries in 15 minutes or less. Bonds easily to plastic, PVC, hard vinyl, resin and more, creating a durable, professional-looking finish that won't chip, peel or fade....so said the Krylon website. Thanks everyone!

Krylon makes a paint called "Fusion" for plastics. I'm reading off the can of one as I type this."It dries in 15 minutes or less. No sanding or priming. For use inside and out on all plastics. Also great for wood, metal ceramics and more". Home Depot, Lowes and most hardware stores have it. It's very popular.

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!

Krylon Fusion!! It works beautifully on plastic patio furniture. It comes in a whole range of colors. I used it 2 summers ago and the chairs still look great. We're near the water so they get really dirty from the sand and salt in the air. We just hose them off and they're good to go.

I've never used it, but there's a spray paint in a can (Krylon? Red Devil? I can't remember.) designed for use on plastics. I have no idea if it's any good, but it's certainly worth investigating.

I've used spray paint before, just the cheap .99 stuff from Wal Mart and it worked fine. It lasted a couple of years and I left them outside year round.

You cant really do nothing No paint will stick and the plastic itself is discolored so no amount of cleaning will take out the discoloring. Sorry but hey, Merry Christmas. anyway.
