I have white plastic patio furniture that I would like to paint. Does anyone know if there is a paint I could use? I have a compressor and a spray gun so I am looking for gallon or quart paint, NOT SPRAY PAINT.
I know Krylon makes Fusion Plastic Paint, that I understand is very good, but a $6 plus bucks a can it would cost me a furtune. If I could use Benjamin Moore, Glidden, etc in a sprayer that would be great.
Any advise would be appreciated.

1. Degrease the surface with an aqueous alkaline cleaner (powdered alkaline household cleaner) or detergent solution (dishwashing detergent) and rinse with clear water.
2. Abrade the surface with fine sand paper.
3. Remove any sanding dust.
4. Apply the solvent-containing paint of your choice.
I would also ask your local paint store what they recommend, as I don't know of a specific product for this.
