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? |

I had to repaint some wood done with the same paint that did not hold up as well. |

painting vinyl
latex, solid stains on vinyl.................never!
use acrylic paint only should be sprayed on, not brushed or rolled and yes it is still paint so it should have a fresh coat every 3 to 5 years. kinda defeats the purpose of having vinyl.......don't you think? wrote in message ups.com... | Has anyone been installing and painting exterior vinyl | products(molding, sashes, etc.) long enough to know about the | durability of the finishes.

Wandering down the paint aisle at Home Despot last week, I noticed a bunch of spray paints whose labels said "For Plastic". Might've been from Rustoleum. Might be worth a look. |

As far as I know paint on vinyl last a very long time. My brother painted his blue vinyl house white 19 years ago and to this day it still looks great. It looks like white vinyl siding. The trick is to wash it first and use 100% acrylic paint. |
