Spray Paint for Plastic – ColorBond Has Many Uses 

If you’re thinking about sprucing up a plastic surface, ColorBond spray paint for plastic is the perfect solution. Plastic and vinyl surfaces are everywhere—from car interiors to restaurant booths and even window frames. Over time, these surfaces can fade, discolor, or simply go out of style. Replacing them is costly, but refinishing is easier than you think—especially with ColorBond LVP Spray Paint for Leather, Vinyl & Plastic.

As paint differs for spray painting metal versus wood, so there are different paints for plastics. It can be challenging to choose spray paint for plastic as there are so many different types of plastics and each has its own surface properties and ability to be painted. While the initial quality to look for is a paint that describes the ability to bond to plastic, it isn’t that simple. 

Adhesion characteristics can vary greatly, so anytime you are spray painting plastic, the best results are achieved by using an adhesion promoter.

ColorBond Spray Paint for Plastics

The most often recommended spray paint for plastic that is hard is acrylic or lacquer paint that requires plastic bonding primer/adhesion promoter. When spray painting plastic, enamel tends to not fully dry, resulting in the paint being sticky to the touch and latex presents some durability issues especially after heavy or frequent use.

ColorBond Spray Paint for Vinyl

When spray painting plastic that is soft, like vinyl, a flexible paint is required, and acrylic-based paints and urethane modified acrylic paints adhere better without cracking, flaking, or peeling. Overall, oil-based paint isn’t a good spray paint for plastic as it doesn’t bond well.

ColorBond LVP spray paint for plastic can be used on both hard and soft plastics. ColorBond is a molecular bonding paint that penetrates deep and is used to correct and restore vinyl, and plastic. ColorBond won’t flake, crack or peel and is durable while still allowing the original texture to show through.

How to Prep Plastic for Spray Paint

When spray painting plastic that is hard, such as automotive door panels or pillars, we recommend sanding with 1200 grit wet sandpaper or a Mr. Clean type eraser, washing with Prep Cleaner, and then applying a thin coat of ColorBond Adhesion Promoter. This will improve the bond between the surface and the paint. Of note, it isn’t necessary to sand soft trim such as vinyl, and Adhesion Promoter does not need to be used.

Figured I’d give it a try on our vinyl windows. Can’t believe how well it is holding up to the elements. Dramatic change in the appearance of the house. Thanks, ColorBond! The cost of replacing the vinyl windows would have been astronomical!”
