Wax the Slide Itself This is one of the best ways to make a slide slippery again. While removing dirt from your slide on its own helps, waxing the slide really brings back the slick ride that the slide boasted when it was new. To do this safely, we recommend rubbing wax paper over the entire slide surface.

There is a large list of options when it comes to choosing the ground beneath your swing set, each with their advantages and disadvantages….Loose-fill materials:

• Wood playground mulch or engineered wood fiber (EWF)
• Rubber playground mulch.
• Pea gravel.
• Sand.

Using brush-on paint for plastic can be a good idea if you’re painting large areas. The best paint for outdoor and playground plastics is Acrylic-Latex Paint.

Instructions

1. Clean the Surface of the Plastic. Fill a bucket with warm water and a little dish soap.
2. Sand Glossy Surfaces. Paint adheres far better to rougher matte surface plastics than to glossy plastics.
3. Wipe Down the Plastic With Mineral Spirits.
4. Spray the First Coat of Paint.
5. Apply Subsequent Coats of Paint.

Enamel paint can be used on copper, metal surfaces, glass, wood, plastic and even on walls. The paint is resistant to moisture and its perfect for surfaces that need to be washed multiple times.

Enamel paint has a glossy look while acrylic paint has more of a matte paint finish to it. Enamel paint is mostly used for painting the exterior walls of the house while acrylic paint is used to paint the interior of the house. Enamel paint finish takes a comparatively longer period to dry than acrylic paint.

Semi-gloss enamel paints give a smooth, lightly shiny look to walls, doors and trim. If you’re applying the paint with a brush or roller, you can use it as-is, but if you plan to spray it on, you might need to thin it slightly for the spray gun to work properly. Some paints cannot be thinned, so check carefully.

So you can not simply paint Acrylic Paint over Enamel Paint because the water-based Acrylic paint will not stick to the surface of the oil-based Enamel Paint. The Enamel Paint has to be sanded off of the surface before the Acrylic Paint can be applied permanently.

You can apply enamel to an acrylic surface but not acrylic to an enamel top coated surface, you can apply acrylic paints to an enamel/oil based primer or enamel/oil based undercoat. Undercoat is used to seal bare areas as well as to coat over primer coat prior to applying top coats.

Using water-based or acrylic paint when painting over oil-based paint is likely to cause peeling or chipping because those formulas don’t bond well with the naturally glossy surface of oil-based paint. Fortunately, with the proper approach, you can successfully use water-based paint over oil-based paint.

It has been extensively researched and is known to be due to the presence of chromophores (coloured chemicals) that are formed during the paints drying process. These chromophores are sensitive to light and will be bleached out of the paint film if exposed to daylight.
