    That paint looks really good @K67. Might be tempted myself  :)
    I'm not sure I'd worry too much about black, but it would depend where the pots are going, and what's planted in them.

    Krylon makes a spray paint called "Fusion"® specifically designed to adhere to plastic.  I've used it before myself.  We painted a Rubbermaid outdoor blue garbage can black that held up for about 10 years in the weather.  It has now begun to chip off a bit, but a touch up re-coat would fix it right up.

  • @Dovefromabove : Your comment very similar choice to my 'earlier' comment - matt grey is GOOD!

    I have now painted 5 pots with the Zinsser Satin Black Exterior Paint.
    Used 2 coats which should be sufficient.
    Looks quite good I think.Got more pots lined up to paint once I take old plants out.
    See how its stands up to use next year!

  • Fair play mate they look great. Many people would have thrown them away adding more plastic to landfill. I see dobbies garden centres are taking in plastic plant pots for free recycling but not sure if it's just small pots or extends to big pots like these ?

    Ach well - never mind. Perhaps a trip to the moon would be better for you then.  :)

    It's ok @philippa smith2- the mods have removed the 'walloper'. 
    I'll translate if required  ;)

    Just the usual troll back Philippa take no notice.

  • Try some Zinsser Allcoat- it adheres to almost everything and dries quickly. It comes in satin and gloss I believe. It's great for sprucing up those plastic drain covers and any black drain pipes.
