How do I paint an outdoor fiberglass planter which will be outside all winter?

Purchased a gey-colored fiberglass planter and want to paint it to match my front door. I have the paint from the front door but what special prep do I need and what’s the best technique? I don’t want to see brush or roller marks, in fact I would like it to looked aged or like an antique zinc planter.

The paint from the front door is an exterior water based, or oil based paint. You need a primer for the planter that will match your paint.

You might need to lightly scruff the outside surface of the planter with steel wool before applying a coat or two of primer.

As far as seeing brush marks, a second coat of paint usually takes care of that. Not sure what an antique zinc planter looks like, but if you leave the planter outside in the elements, it should age naturally over the course of several months. Otherwise, paint stores sell paints that dry with an antique finish. Maybe they would have something you could use as a finishing coat in the color to match your door.

Acrylic Painting Techniques $62.13 Acrylic painting techniques are different styles of manipulating and working with polymerbased acrylic paints. Acrylics differ from oil paints in that they have shorter drying times (as little as 10 minutes) and are soluble in water. These types of paint eliminate the need for turpentine and gesso, and can be applied directly onto canvas. Aside from painting with concentrated color paints, acrylics can also be watered down to a consistency that can be poured or used for glazes Author: Miller, Frederic P./ Vandome, Agnes F./ McBrewster, John Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 70 Publication Date: 2010/04/19 Language: English Dimensions: 5.98 x 9.01 x 0.16 inches
