Can polyethylene outdoor seating be painted or refinished after wear?
Polyethylene outdoor seating is durable and weather-resistant, but over time, it may show signs of wear or fade. The good news is that yes, polyethylene can be painted or refinished to restore its appearance. However, proper preparation is key. Start by cleaning the surface thoroughly with soap and water, then lightly sand it to create a better bond for the paint. Use a high-quality spray paint or brush-on paint specifically designed for plastic surfaces. For a longer-lasting finish, apply a primer first and seal with a clear protective coat. Avoid oil-based paints, as they may not adhere well. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and occasional touch-ups, can extend the life of your refinished polyethylene furniture.
