You can always have fun and be creative with any planter using paint but we highly recommend you select a primer and paint that will work well with our materials. Our suggestion is to always visit your local paint store for recommendations. Our recycle logo on the bottom of the product will identify the material of your planter. Please note that on our Crescent Garden rotomold planters our warranty covers fading of its original hue. By choosing to paint your planter you will be waiving that aspect of the warranty.
