(NC)-Chances are your deck or patio décor includes a variety of surfaces such as wood, wicker, metal and plastic, all which may have become weathered from summer sun and winter storage. Armed with your creativity and a few cans of spray paint, you can give all these surfaces a fresh, stylish, up-to-date appearance. Spray painting furniture and accessories is probably the fastest and most affordable way to give your backyard oasis a great new look.

Krylon Fusion for Plastic is an easy-to-use, one step, super-bonding spray paint. It can be used on wood, metal, wicker, hard vinyl and a wide range of plastic surfaces including ABS, PVC, polypropylene, polyethylene, fiberglass and rubber.

It is available in a wide range of colors and now comes with the new EZ Touch 360° Dial Spray Tip, which enables more comfortable spray painting with increased coverage per pass, reduced overspray, less chance of runs or drips and greater accuracy. Using a dial that rotates a full 360°, spray painters can adjust the direction of the fan-spray pattern with the touch of a finger.

The colour experts at Krylon (www.krylon.com), North America's leading supplier of spray paint, have some tips for making outdoor makeovers easier than ever:

• Use colour to unify your space. By carefully selecting a palette of a few colours, you can unify even disparate furniture pieces into a pleasing whole. White is an ever-popular classic that can be paired with almost any accent colour to achieve striking good looks.

• Especially in areas filled with bright sunlight, don't be afraid of bold or saturated colours. Use bright, bold colours to infuse a space with energy and whimsy, or consider textured or metallic hues for more subtle sophistication.

• For the brightest, boldest colours, prime the surface or apply a white basecoat. Next, apply the colour coat over the white surface.

• Group furniture together to create intimate conversation areas. Use interesting containers to hold plants. Consider lighting for both evening safety and ambiance.

• Always follow the directions on your can of spray paint. Application instructions and dry times, as well as how long you should shake the can and how far away you should hold it from the surface, vary from paint to paint.
