Repaint a garden planter..... what. With? w

Options
Have 2 lovely contemporary planters.

need to rejuvenate them.

they are made of a plastic like material. Not metal nor clay. However don’t feel like cheap plastic. Maybe a resin type substance.

anyway, any experience with painting these?

my worry is paint flaking off and making them look awful.

    There's a bedec mult surface paint that I use for metal chairs, wooden gates and cast iron pipes. Never known it peal. Brushes wash in water. Washed and scrubbed the items.
    My friend uses oddments of emulsion on plastics and tyres. I've used it on plastic pots. It lasts 2or 3 years in full weather before pealing out wearing.
    But the multi surface is easy to apply and comes in a multitude of colours if you look online. I've bought some online from manufacturer and delivered promptly.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!
