Wow! Glen, that is So Cool! I Soooo want to visit Australia before I die!

Cheryl, make sure the spray paint is suitable for plastic. I use Krylon (you can buy that almost anywhere, except Lowes -- they have a different brand). For the price of a can (a little over $5) you could probably spray two, maybe three pots). You would still come out ahead, in my opinion) based on what the pot would cost when it's not on sale. I stocked up on some large plastic pots also because he price was too good to walk away from; they are blue. One large one, which I'll spray a dark maroon, will go in my courtyard. The other two will remain blue and end up in the pool area. I have a lot of funky Key West kind of colors out there anyway. It's where I keep my succulents and small cacti - in mostly blue pots.
This is hubby's storage shed which he had to put out by the pool as there was absolutely no room anywhere else in the garden. Finally got around to painting it a few months ago. The big pots each side of the door are ceramic (and I found those on sale!).

You can also just buy the primer intended for plastic, and then use any paint on top of that. Or so I've been told.

If they're the same as the ones I saw at Lowe's yesterday, I'm not sure what the material is - plastic or something else. They have a dull finish - colorful and bright but the finish is dull.

Yes, Arlene, those are the same pots in pink. I got the largest on the bottom shelf for $5.98. Sanding the pot tonight and will paint it up tomorrow. If it it seems to hold, like I think it will, I will grab up some more. The first one, the experiment, will go to my daughter who has a big scheffalera to transplant.

@Elfie, I got Rustoleum and it says it is good for plastic...metal, wood etc. I have used it before, the "Hammered-look" variety and it is holding up well. I don't even think I need a primer, @woofie.

Let us know how it worked out for you.

Oh, I only mentioned the primer because the last time I looked, the colors available for plastic were rather limited. I do love Rustoleum's "Hammered look!" Didn't know that one could be used on plastic!
