Painting plastic shutters

[James E Hilburger]

Hi,

I have 9 pairs of white plastic shutters that I want to paint a
different color.. What type of paint should I use (latex/oil/latex
enamel) and what do I need to do to the shutters prior to applying the
paint. I plan on painting the louver portion of the shutter a different
color from the rail and stile. Is there a easy way of doing this ?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank You
Jim Hilburger

We painted our plastic shutters last year. We used Zinsser 1-2-3
primer and then 2 coats of exterior latex (we used Behr semigloss).

I'd use a high end 100% acrylic semi-gloss trim paint. It would be easiest
to spray the louvers and hand brush the rail and stile.

A Wagner buzz gun might be suited for this scope of project but for in
general they are a waist of money. Just do a dejanews search on airless
sprayers to see for yourself.
