Has anyone tried to paint the exterior of these resin sheds (for exterior use)? If so, what paint adheres...or doesn't? Thanks!

I would not paint this because it will not last - You can power wash it and it will look new again

You'll need to go to an automotive paint shop that's familiar with mixing tints for liners. Haven't used it on a boat, but I'm sure if you prepped the area well it would adhere and hold up well. I've used 20+ bottles of this on an Offroad trailer and it's holding up great.

Sorry. I do not have the answer to how these labels will withstand weathering outdoors. I wondered how the adhesive will last along with if the letters fade or wash away.

I don't think this is the product you want for that application. I would go with an outdoor wood coating such as spar varnish, there are a few sold here but here is one: http://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-207008-Marine-Varnish-1-Quart/dp/B000C011CE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1422888899&sr=8-1&keywords=outdoor+wood+varnish

I would use hide glue found in lumber yards mixed with water 1tsp hide lue to a cup of warm water. Makes a great stable water color paint. Maybe a dash of alum.

In one word: No. It will coat anything nicely, but any Epoxy resin will yellow, crack and generally degrade when exposed to constant UV rays and weather. It will last a few years but be prepared to do the project again. If it's under a canopy then it will last longer, but overall these coatings are not meant to be used outdoors

You can use either brush on or spray paint for the resin. Either works, just remember to wash the piece down with Dawn dish soap in hot water and let it dry first. Then paint.

You can, but I would prefer to keep it inside. It is painted and colorful. If you leave it outdoors, it will fade and won't look as nice. Maybe if you can paint over it with a clear seal coat, then it would probably do well outside!!

I recently successfully sprayed latex exterior paint with both the 311 on smaller surfaces and the 515 on a larger surface. I had less success spraying an interior/exterior latex polyurethane with the 311 tip. It sprayed in a very mottled (spotty) pattern . What tip would anyone recommend or it my technique ?

I personally have never tried that but I have seen this product - Resin Craft Surface Coat Spray - Fast drying, clear gloss finish/sealer. Ideal for fixing small blemishes in cured resin pieces. I would be interested to see if that works. It is from Environmental Technology.

This thing works great....used it inside though....outside should work good as well..keep it clean and keep on painting

I doubt any chrome spray paint will last very long on exterior parts, the only way would be to spray Krylon crystal clear over top but it might make it dull.

You really shouldn't have any streaks with the final coat, Bob. Why not call their help line and see what they recommend? Otherwise, try waiting several days until the final resin completely sets up. Lightly sand with some very fine sand paper and then lay down a topcoat of quality polyurethane. I have no idea about the chemistry of the resin and the polyurethane, but it might be less expensive than ordering more of the resin from Rust-Oleum.

I used exterior paint only. But I'm sure it would spray stain. That would be thinner then paint. When I tested it with water it sprayed Nicly with water.

Painted. I have had my outside under a porch for years and very little rust.

It is made from PVC material, but it has a very smooth surface. So yes, I would think you could paint it but be deliberate about it. If it were me, I would use an oil based primer and a high quality outdoor paint. Benjamin Moore has a waterborne alkyd paint called "Advance" that I think would be good, if they can provide it in a color you like. Anyway, when I say good quality paint I'm not talking about stuff you can buy at Home Depot. All this might be overkill, but I think it is worth being deliberate on surfaces like this outdoors.

Can this paint be cured w/ a blowtorch for items that can't be stuck in an oven? And is this paint safe to use on indoor items (e.g. are there any toxic odors emitted when heated?)? Thx in advance for any/all answers!
