keestha Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 In my resort I have a lot of plastic chairs and tables, they are outside on the porches of the bungalows, where they don't always stay dry of course. Now after 4 years they are looking quite shabby: lots of dark spots on them, that seem impossible to remove. It might also have to do with the fact that I am close to the beach. I guess you cant paint plastic furniture, but would there be some other way to touch it up a bit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teacup Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 none!!! The only way to remove those spots is thru a good power wash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billd766 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I usually throw them away after about 4 or 5 years as the sun and uv etc generally decompose them. A new chair costs around 199 baht in Makro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_hippo Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Try a cutting compound such as T-Cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardog Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 If it has mold type of spots Throw them out. I refinished 2 nice lounge chairs with flexible Auto primer & Auto Paint From a paint gun & the dam_n chairs are either from China or here . Worthless. 4 years is pretty good Buy new is the best advice I can give you. Once the plastic is compromised ditch it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinaboy Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Mix 3/4 cup household bleach and 1 tablespoon powdered or liquid laundry detergent with 1 gallon warm water. (Test the solution on a hidden area to be sure plastic will not discolor.) Wear rubber gloves, and wash chairs with a soft-bristled brush or sponge. Work on one small area at a time. Allow the mixture to remain on the chair for five to 15 minutes, then rinse well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
