Plastics are perhaps the most difficult surfaces to paint. Their chemical composition and smooth surface do not promote good paint adhesion, and the fact that plastics can expand and contract at a greater rate than many paints leaves them vulnerable to flaking paint, even when you think you have the coating securely adhered. With proper preparation and specialty products, however, you can paint plastics and not have to worry about the durability of the finish. For interior walls (tiled with plastic tile, for example, or finished with other plastic products), apply a high-adhesion latex stain-blocking primer. For bathroom and kitchen walls not subject to constant exposure to water, use a top-of-the line-interior latex paint. Shower walls and similar surfaces do not make suitable candidates for paint. For extra insurance against peeling and cracking, ask your paint dealer about primers and paints made specifically for plastic surfaces. They will give you a great deal of versatility in transforming drab outdoor objects into attractive ornaments.

Are Keter sheds waterproof? Keter sheds are water-resistant. Keter sheds are manufactured from high-quality, recyclable materials under rigorous control and supervision to protect against warping, rotting, fading, rusting, and peeling.
While Keter sheds are extremely durable and sturdy when built on solid and level ground, depending on the area conditions, it may be best to secure your shed to the ground. For example, if your shed is in a hurricane area or an area where weather conditions can be extreme, you may choose to secure your shed. All Keter sheds come with notches on the floor where anchors can be secured. The types of bolts that will work to secure your shed are included in the manual. The types of materials you may require, for example, a removable concrete screw and a rotary hammer, are dependent on the material of the ground you are securing your shed to.
