Can PVC outdoor loungers be painted or refinished if discolored?

PVC outdoor loungers are durable and weather-resistant, but over time, they may become discolored due to sun exposure or wear. The good news is that yes, you can paint or refinish them to restore their appearance. Here’s how:

1. Preparation: Clean the lounger thoroughly with soapy water and a soft brush. Sand the surface lightly with fine-grit sandpaper to help the paint adhere better.

2. Priming: Use a plastic-bonding primer to ensure the paint sticks properly. Let it dry completely.

3. Painting: Choose a high-quality outdoor paint designed for plastic or PVC. Spray paint or acrylic paint works well. Apply thin, even coats and allow drying time between layers.

4. Sealing: Protect the finish with a clear UV-resistant sealant to prevent fading and peeling.

Regular maintenance, like cleaning and storing the lounger during harsh weather, can extend its refreshed look. With the right steps, your PVC outdoor lounger can look as good as new!
