Default painting vinyl

Has anyone been installing and painting exterior vinyl
products(molding, sashes, etc.) long enough to know about the
durability of the finishes. Exterior latexes and solid stains look
great when the job is finished, but what about 5+ years later?


My advice is to scuff sand the vinyl, then power wash. Let it dry 1
complete day.

Make your first coat an oil primer.

Your finish coat should be 100% waterborne acrylic latex paint.
