The go-to spray for tricky outdoor surfaces: its 5X adhesion sticks to plastic, resin and wicker without sanding or priming, coats intricate weave without brush marks, and is rust-protective and outdoor-rated. The trade-offs are real, though - each can covers only about 25 sq ft so a whole set gets pricey, it needs a full week to cure before heavy use, and on high-flex plastic it can eventually chip at stress points.
Pros
- 5X adhesion grips slick plastic, resin and wicker with no sanding or separate primer
- Paint-and-primer aerosol coats intricate wicker weave and chair frames with no brush marks
- True indoor/outdoor rating with rust protection makes it a strong all-round patio pick
Cons
- One can only covers ~25 sq ft, so a full patio set can take 3-5 cans and add up
- Needs the full ~7-day cure before hard use or rain, or the finish scuffs and marks
- On very flexible plastics it can still crack or chip at high-flex stress points over time

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does Krylon Fusion really stick to plastic without sanding?
- That is its defining claim — 5X adhesion grips slick plastic, resin and wicker with no sanding and no separate primer. On very flexible plastics it can still crack or chip at high-flex stress points over time.
- How many cans for a patio set?
- Three to five. Each 12 oz can covers only about 25 sq ft, so aerosol convenience adds up quickly on a full set of chairs and a table.
- What is the recoat window?
- Within 2 hours or after 48 — recoating in between risks wrinkling. Touch dry is about 20 minutes and handling an hour, but the full ~7-day cure must pass before hard use or rain.
