if I wanted to paint (not spray) a design on plastic patio furniture..?

tables with benches and chairs image

tak

Hi there. I love to free hand paint and I would like to paint on plastic tables, chairs, benches, etc. patio furniture.

I know I should lightly sand the surface - making sure it is very clean - and prime. I know that much.

However, I want to paint a design with a paintbrush - not spray paint.

Anyone tried this? Which paint would I use and how can I make sure it will last?

thanks for any help folks!

Answer
I thought about freehand painting my wood bench. An outdoor Behr paint from Home Depot with a marine poly finish should seal it.

Will Sur dining table work with my other furniture?

I am thinking of getting the Big Sur table and benches from Crate and Barrel. http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=891&f=14069&q=sur&fromLocation=Search&DIMID=400001&SearchPage=1

But my other furniture are sort of Ballard Design style. Samples :
Armoire in black -- http://www.ballarddesigns.com/jump.jsp?itemID=1025&itemType=PRODUCT&path=1%2C2%2C5%2C36%2C200&iProductID=1025

Console table (also in black) -- http://www.ballarddesigns.com/jump.jsp?itemID=1746&itemType=PRODUCT&RS=1&keyword=demilune

My couches are similar in color to the link below, although style is a little more relaxed -- http://www.scandinaviandesigns.com/?page=shop/flypage&page_back=shop/category_items&offset=0&product_id=1572&category_id=a10b5d1d7c7745585411b442dc5aa934

Main artwork has dark traditional frame.

Is there any way to make this work?

Answer
I'm not liking the white oak table with all the black pieces you have noted. I would choose a warmer wood color and then it would blend. The style of the table would work, just not the light color. Then the dark leather chairs would pull it together nicely with the rest of the look. Good choices though.
