I have a bunch of S & K plastic Bo 11 gourds that will need a coat of paint after this season. Does anyone have a spray paint recommendation? The tops of the gourds are loooking pretty weathered.

Krylon Fusion paint, comes in spray cans and quart size brush on. Brush on works best. I had to do the same thing after 2 or 3 years of use.

I agree with Ray! I've been using Krylon on anything plastic for over 20 yrs. Don't know when they added the Fusion to the name. :grin:

Sorry I'm a visual kind of guy. I like pictures. The photo on the bottom shows the color of my weathered gourds against new gourds.
