HELP! Plaster garden sculpture needs repainting?
I have a beautiful soft plaster donkey, 3 ft long 2 ft hi, with a cart behind it, out in the front garden, a gift from my children. The rain has taken it’s toll on the paint of the donkey. I did purchase some exterior craft paints to touch up the spots then I sprayed it with several coats of polyurethane. However, continued rain, even hail a few weeks ago, pitted the surface exposing the plaster. What kind of paint can I use to protect the plaster and what coating or spray should I use to protect it overall? Thanks.
Thanks for the tip Precious Gem. It makes sense that whoever made it didn’t seal the plaster before painting it.

Seal the entire piece. When dried buy some
outdoor paint from a home improvement
store. They can mix the paint to any color you want. This should last for 10 years. Oops!
forgot to tell you to lightly sand before sealing.
Sanding will remove the pits left by the hail.
