I have a little playhouse I was thinking of repainting but not sure if there is paint out there to do this?

Does anyone know?

Yes, one of the spray paints is now made specifically for the plastic toys. Look for it with all the other spray paints.

I don't remember the brand name, but I purchased some at Lowes and painted the kiddie picnic tables I picked up at garage sales to match the rest of the backyard. They look nice but do require touch ups.

Krylon makes a spray paint that is specifically for plastics.

Does the paint flake off real easy? Thats my fear as with plastic not being porus there won't be anything to absorb into.

I painted the door of our outdoor playhouse because it was really faded (it was red and looked light pink!). I used the spray paint designed for plastic furniture and its held up great. I did notice it is starting to chip a little but its probably been 3-4 years since I painted it!

It works great except for slides It is expensive though

Would the spray paint meant specifically for plastic furniture be good to use on other plastic items?

I have a project in mind that involves painting 2 liter bottles, but I want to make sure I pick something that wont crack/break/chip easily, considering the plastic on 2 liters is very thin and bendable...

I have used spray paint on plastic stuff and it looks great! Krypton and another brand...I forget which. But it comes out very nice.
