Can you paint a polyethylene slide?

Not really, paint does not stick to polyethylene very well and would make the slide rough rather then 'slippery'.Alternative:Actually, some forms of epoxy paints will adhere to polyethylene. The issue is roughness again. If you prepare the surface by sanding it smooth, and spray the paint in layers, sanding each layer with progressively finer grit sandpaper, you should be able to produce a smooth enough finish to make sliding feasible. You might also need to wax or polish the slide's surface after the last coat of paint has set completely.If however there is any portion of the surface of the slide that is dirty, or has any sort of oil on it, the paint will not adhere there, and will create a peeling point that could spread over the entire surface of the slide.
