Paint Thinner (If The Plastic Is New)
-
- Find a spot outdoors and cover nearby items with a drop cloth or old sheets to protect them from spray mist
- If the plastic is new, wipe it down with paint thinner. If it's older, just clean with soap and water. Let dry.
- Apply one coat of the Rust-Oleum® Specialty Plastic Primer, following application directions on the can.
- Review the instructions (and additional project ideas) on the American Accents® Authentic Patina Decorative Finishing Kit. Spray on the patina base coat and let dry.
- Gently rub the surface with the enclosed abrasive pad.
- To apply the top coat, work in small areas (about 4 x4 sections). Brush on the patina finish and then dab with a damp paper towel to get that verdigris look.
- Let everything dry and then plant your favorite annuals.
