Re: Painting shutters

You sure can.. you can spray paint them..

take them down and make sure you do this in the garage or somewhere they won't get anything to fly on them.

clean them up and use a tack cloth to remove any excess debris on them

use an exterior spray paint for plastic and just spray them.. no need for priming or sanding.. also, even though it dries up quickly, wait at least a full week before putting them back up to make sure they are fully done.

Thanks so much!!! Was just about to buy new ones....even though they are cheap I would rather not spend the money if I don't have to.
