Plop a flag in and you’re done!Īccessories to Dress Up Little Tikes Painted Playhouse a traditional doorknob then drilled holes next to the doorway to hang a bell. We added a blingy cabinet pull to the doors vs. Dang doors!ĪCCESSORIZE! Once all of the paint was sealed, we accessorized this cutie. Plan for a few touch-ups after putting the door on as it will likely rub off here and there despite 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of paint, and 4 coats of sealant. We did 4 coats on the door as it gets the most use and for this particular make/model of a playhouse, the doors chip easily. After 24 hours of dry time, we spray sealed the whole house (2 coats) for added durability. For this particular makeover, we spray painted the roof charcoal gray, the exterior (and interior) white, the door aqua blue, the shutters black then the flag pole and new knob gold, as pictured. Once primer is dry, paint your pieces the color of your choosing. No need to sand beforehand but priming will just add to your final lasting effects.
If you’re unsure of the plastic materials in your house, take the extra step and prime. The door is made of a slightly different plastic and is extra slick so definitely prime both sides of the door and allow to dry according to the can’s directions before spray painting your final color. If you’re using our same model playhouse, there’s no need to prime the whole house, just the door. It’s meant to adhere specifically to plastic and is also meant to withstand the great outdoors. Make 100% sure your spray paint is meant for PLASTIC. Note: a plastic drop cloth will peel off paint so we highly suggest using a canvas drop cloth … we may or may not have learned this from experience if you saw our Instagram stories, LOL! Once completely dry (paint will not stick to wet plastic) lay each piece of the playhouse in sections onto a canvas drop cloth. Prior to painting, make sure the plastic is clean if it’s been outdoors, remove all loose dust by spraying it down the towel drying or letting the sun dry it out. (Note: we strongly advise against taping off over fresh paint on plastic as the tape WILL pull the paint off.)ĬLEAN THE PLAYHOUSE. Whether you’re painting a new plastic playhouse in the box OR a used/put together plastic playhouse, your first step is to take it apart as it’s MUCH easier to paint each piece individually versus taping off sections.
