This method removes bird droppings and many stains. To clean plain aluminum (the old-style lawn chairs), you'll need a plastic scrubber or fine steel wool soaked in detergent.

Outdoor spray paint projects from Krylon®.Another sneak peek of our patio space! I know, I’m such a tease. Anyways in the last post about the outdoor sofa makeover, I talked about how we wanted to do this patio makeover on a budget. Enter ugly beat up plastic chairs that I found at a local thrift store for a few measly dollars. I knew with a little TLC & some spray paint that these babies would be as good as new & be a great addition to our patio makeover. And actually these chairs are pretty heavy & are very sturdy so it was a great deal. I hope this post makes you think twice about passing up some ugly plastic furniture at your local thrift store or inspires you to paint some plastic furniture of your own! So you have a not so pretty plastic piece of furniture. It’s so easy to give it a makeover that it would be a sin not to make it pretty! 1- wash the entire surface of the plastic piece of furniture. I like using windex or vinegar and water to clean with. I feel like it gets all of the dirts & oils completely off the surface which will allow the paint to adhere better to the plastic.
2- You can choose to prime if you want to. I don’t prime when painting plastic. One, because I’m lazy & I don’t feel like it’s necessary. I have never had a problem with paint coming off of my plastic pieces when I don’t prime. Plastic is an absorbent material and any kind of spray paint works very well in my opinion. But, if you do want to prime, you can use kilz or rust-oleums oil based primers for extra security that your paint will last & go on smooth. My favorite spray paint to use is Rust-oleum (and no this post is not sponsored, but hey what’s up rust-oleum! I like your product!) I feel like for plastic and outdoor pieces in general it’s very durable and long lasting. I especially love the hammered textured series because it hides flaws & really leaves no room for error.Let your piece dry until it’s out in the weather conditions, but really now you have a beautiful “new” piece of furniture that you can be proud of and that will make your outdoor space look like a whole new area!

I shopped around extensively and Palm Casual is the only place to go for outdoor furniture. My wife and I recently purchased furniture from Palm Casual and are glad that we did. Steve and Lori were great to work with…friendly, helpful and no pressure. The patio furniture is priced right and is of good quality. I will recommend them to others. My family and I recently moved to Florida, we built a home with a pool and needed outdoor furniture. We investagated several vendors and found Palm Causal’s Quality and Factory Prices to be the most attractive, the Family Friendly atmosphere in their showroom and beyond was the clincher. It felt like we were working with family from the first contact in their showroom to the two delivery guys when our patio set was delivered. The product fit perfectly in the space and was exactly what we picked out in the showroom. I was truely impressed with this company and would highly recommend them to everyone. Thanks, Palm Casual for a great experience.
My husband’s family has been shopping with Palm Casual for years. We just bought a house, and my mother in law recommended this store because of the durability of the items and the friendly owners. Steve helped us pick out our patio furniture, and was so genuinely nice that we knew we were doing business at the right place. He offered us to purchase the furniture with a 30 day guarantee that if we weren’t completely in love with it, we could bring it back. He also gave us a great deal that met our budget. We looked at other competitors and noone could offer the quality, business model and price that Palm Casual offered. Exceptional customer service, great folks! I highly recommend this store for all of your patio furniture needs! My wife and I spent a fair amount of time shopping all of the local outdoor living stores (and most other furniture/home décor stores) to find what we wanted for our new home. I don’t think you can beat Palm Casual. Starting with the helpful information shared with us during our first store visit, through to delivery of our purchase, all aspects were top notch.
We are extremely pleased with the quality and comfort of the product, as well as the pricing. At the time of delivery our coffee table wasn’t yet available and they sent a matching piece for us to use until ours came in – a very nice touch. Thanks to Steve and everyone who helped us out!
