I wanted this for my garden; before I can do that, according to the manufacturer's website, I will need to use a weatherize with a clear acrylic paint.  This bit of advice was not shown with the actual product but for another where it said for painted statues the acrylic paint is needed.  The statue itself seems smaller than I thought, right now it's sitting indoors on a shelf and I will decide when spring comes whether it will go out.
