Useful Tips for Painting uPVC Doors
If you’re not going to outsource the work to a professional and want to paint your uPVC doors yourself, here are some handy tips to consider:
- If it’s a hot day, take the panel out of the door and coat the edges. The uPVC will shrink when the weather gets colder so you don’t want to be left with a silly looking white border around your new paint.
- You’re saving money by painting the doors yourself so it’s worth spending a bit extra on a quality drop of uPVC paint. Bedec MSP, Zinsser Allcoat or Kolorbond (if you’re spraying) will all give you a professional standard finish.
- If your door is south-facing, make sure you use a UV protection.
