Over time, outdoor furniture can lose its luster. Fortunately, spray paint transforms plastic, wood, wicker and metal surfaces, so you can:

• Instantly upgrade lawn chairs with textured-finish Hammered Paint for Plastic in classic Dark Bronze.
• Give a refined patina finish to a metal dining set with Stops Rust Multi-Color Textured in Autumn Brown.
• Protect wicker or wood conversation sets with chip- and fade-free American Accents Smooth Satin Finish Spray in a trendy summer-bright hue.
• If you're building your own patio furniture, such as a picnic table, make custom paint the final step in your DIY project.

Once paint starts flaking off metal railings rust sets in, eroding the structure and downgrading your home’s curb appeal. Luckily, it only takes a couple of hours to fix an unsightly railing.

• After removing rust and grime, refinish the railing with American Accents Satin Finishes Spray to match the original finish.
• For more of a makeover, opt for a completely different shade. Black and white are classics, of course.
• Artisan-inspired metallics such as Hammered-finish Silver, Verde Green and Dark Bronze are hot looks for summer.

Faded metal-wire fences are easily renewed with a coat of spray paint. Wood fences have a larger surface area, so it’s best to use a paint sprayer rather than a brush. The Home Depot Tool Rentals rents them by the day, week or month.

• Rust-Oleum Universal Advanced Formula is a premium all-surface paint that provides the ultimate long lasting protection and durability. It provides excellent coverage on plastic, wood, metal, concrete, wicker, aluminum and masonry surfaces, and has a convenient any-angle sprayer.
• For professional results, make any necessary repairs before you start painting.

Few things are more welcoming to guests than a freshly painted front door. If yours has seen better days, there’s no need to replace it—just give it a makeover.

• A high-gloss finish in a bold hue such as red or black is traffic-stopping, while muted historic shades such as satin-finish Colonial Red or Nutmeg give a customized look to even a standard-issued front door.
• Durable General Purpose spray paint comes in 23 colors and stands up to daily use.
• Add a new kick plate and door hardware for an even more high-impact makeover.

Brighten a beat-up mailbox with a quick application of paint. Trying to decide on a finish? Here are some suggestions based on popular house styles:
