Painting an Igloo Cooler

[Sully352]

One of the big box stores have paint for plastic lawn furniture. I'm sure that stuff would work best

I did one of mine either this past season or the season before that and it has just recently been showing some of the original blue and only in wear spots.

What paint did you use? Did you sand the cooler or use a certain type of primer? Thanks!

Well, I went out to the garage for a 2nd look and it's actually a Coleman but the question still applies

Any help would be appreciated.

I have a small Igloo cooler that I want to paint camoflage. I have read some on the GS and also googled how to do this but I would like to know if anyone has been successful keeping the paint on the cooler for an extended period (weeks, months) after some normal wear and tear. I don't want to have to keep touching it up every couple of weeks.

I have read that sanding, priming, and using Krylon fusion helps but I have also read that people have had mixed results. I was about to run to Wal-mart to get some paint but decided to post here to see what the GS has to say.
