A truly boring question about paint.

[gonetoseeamanaboutadog]

I'd like to paint some large plastic plant pots as cheaply as possible.

Would appreciate advice on what primer to buy, or what paint.

Ideally, these plant pots will end up a soft green.

The sales assistant at B&Q has advised against using paint intended for wood. The only option he had seemed to be a spray, which works out too expensive.

Thanks.

Chalk paint will work. Maybe it won't last forever but it will def work.

Zinsser Primer-Sealer is the best primer.

Are they staying inside or out?

I agree with spray paint actually

Thanks so much for the help.

Went with a mixture of chalk paint varnished over and valspar outdoor spray paint. It cost an arm and a leg but they're done and I hope they stay looking like this :)

Thanks again.
