Question
I have a crib that I have figured out how to paint, except for the fact it has plastic pieces on it (instead of metal) that assemble the crib.  These pieces are a natural wood color and I want to paint the crib an antique white.  Can I paint the plastic pieces, and if so how?

Answer
You local home improvement store carries paint that will adhere to plastic.  One brand that comes to mind is Rustoleum.  Be sure to check for any possible toxicity before painting the crib.  Safety first, and always with children's furniture.

Regards,
Jenny

Visit my web site at: http://www.jennifertaylorwojcik.com Decor: I've written about it, planned it, designed it and colored it, and I've never stopped loving it. It's not what you spend, or who made it, it's how it makes you feel.

Experience

College, advertising, public relations, marketing, free-lance writing and a plethora of creative endeavors have led me here. As an entrepreneur in decorative product design, I learned the hard way how tough it can be to be in business for yourself. A stint at a law firm taught me humility too. Some three thousand questions ago, I wondered if I could really help.
