Painting a pvc door

pinkfluffythings

We have a wood grain effect, black upvc door. Would anyone know if this can be painted and if so what kind of paint would we use.


Many Thanks

I thought that the whole point of having a PVC door was that you never had to paint it.

Painting one at this moment ,done under coat with INTERNATIONAN UPVC PRIMER [homebase] will need 2 coarts of primer ,looking good [it is on inside and is wood grain ]

Finished the door , used egg shell as top coat very pleased

This is a message for Nickj or anyone who has used Bedec Multi Surface Paint.

I am looking to use this product to add some colour to my uPVC windows and guttering and a metal garage door.

It seems like the perfect product, what are you experiences with it? Do you apply with a brush or spray and how many coats to you use?
Do you think it can withstand a standard amount of wear and tear?

You comments would be much appreciated before I take the plunge.

you say UPVC primer worked OK - fair enough
but isn't it the case that the wood grain effect on UPVC windows is in fact a metal film/layer over the UPVC

not that I would personally ever paint them - thats the very reason I went for non wood frames

We have used this paint to paint a badly faded / marked UPVC canopy and windows externally and it has been excellent it comes in colours too ours has been done just over a year and it is still good as new hope that helps we are really pleased

Not something i would recommend to be honest but the darker colours do seem to attract more heat and !!!!!!s the locks up.

Our brown door warps every summer
