I too would like to know what paints to use on a plastic Nativity Set where each one is lighted. They are very faded.

10-2-09, Hello! I would like to paint an outdoor plastic Nativity figure. It is the kind of Nativity Set where each figure is lighted with a light bulb inside. What type of paint would you recommend ? I’d like to brush the paint on and not spray it. Thanks so much! Sandy Smith

What other paint can I use on plastic. I have lots of large plastic pots which would take more paint. I have a spray gun and would like to use it and will be able to cover more with the gun.
Thanks

To Whom it may concern,
I am in the process of trying to strip a metal roof in preparation to repaint it.
The porch roof has several layers of old roof paint which has flaked off in sections, and areas which are still solid. I do not want to just paint over the old, because of the uneven holes which will make the roof uneven.
I have tried several strippers combined with scraping such as “clean strip” the task is daunting and I have already committed many hours. I seem to be getting no where.
I have tried a grinder with a sanding attachment, a paint stripping hand tool, to little effect.
I really want to prep this roof properly and make the surface even when painted.
Any tricks or guidance?,
Thank You in advance,
Frustrated in New Castle,
Tom

Hi Danny:

Concerning painting metal roof vents: Is it better to paint over bare galvanized metal as above or paint over one of the manufacturers colors to achieve your specific color?

For instance: Paint terra cotta color over dark brown O’Hagin composistion roof vent.

We would like to repaint our concrete porch, it has been painted and the paint chipped, then outdoor carpet glued on it and we eventually pulled it up. I would like to make it look like it has flat rocks with grout in between, how would I start and what products would I need.
