Protecting blow molds from the sun/fading?

4667 Views 4 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  shammus
Hey all, so I have a humble collection of blow molds and my idea for a halloween haunt this year will be to have all the ones shown in the picture outside in the front lawn for a makeshift pumpkin patch of sorts. I'll have hale bays, tombstones, some fencing I built and other things out there to dress the display up a bit.

My question is, I'd love to have this outside as long as I can. Is there some sort of a clear-coat spray or anything I can put on these to protect them from fading? Would love to hear the advice from all of you experts on this one. Thanks so much!

I use the 303 UV Protectant Spray on my blow molds. Its fairly inexpensive and I apply it before and after each seasonal display.

Hope this helps.

Correct. I've used it for the past couple of years with no noticed fading. I also try and keep my blowmolds out of direct sunlight as much as possible by using shade but they have been exposed to Northeast colder weather as well. Good luck with your great looking collection.
