1. Prepare the Goose:

• Use an all-purpose cleaner or degreaser to remove dirt and grime 

• Rinse thoroughly with water and allow the goose to dry completely. 

• If the plastic is new, wipe it down with paint thinner for best results. 

• Lightly sand the goose with fine-grit sandpaper if they've been painted before. 

1. 2. Apply Primer:

   • Apply a plastic primer designed for outdoor use, like Dulux Duramax Plastic Primer Spray Paint. 

   • Ensure the primer is fully dry before applying the paint. 

2. 3. Apply Paint:

   • Choose a spray paint specifically designed for plastic, such as Krylon Fusion All-In-One or Rust-Oleum 2X Ultra Cover Paint+Prime. 

   • Shake the paint can well before using. 

   • Apply the paint in a well-ventilated area. 

   • Hold the can about 6-8 inches from the Goose and spray in a sweeping motion, with slight overlap. 

   • Apply light, even coats, allowing the paint to dry between coats. 

   • Consider using a satin finish for a more durable and less shiny look. 

3. 4. Drying and Curing:

   • Allow the paint to dry completely according to the paint manufacturer's instructions. 

   • For optimal curing, expose the painted goose to sunlight. 

Tips for Success:

• Use Painter's Tape: If you want to create a design with multiple colors, use painter's tape to mask off areas. 

• Clean Thoroughly: Proper cleaning is crucial for paint adhesion. 

• Apply Multiple Thin Coats: This will help avoid drips and ensure even coverage. 

• Choose the Right Paint: Use a paint specifically designed for plastic. 

• Follow Drying Times: Allow the paint to dry and cure fully according to the manufacturer's instructions. 

• Ventilate Well: Paint in a well-ventilated area to avoid fumes and ensure proper drying.
