Rust-Oleum uPVC Paint is engineered to transform and protect your outdoor uPVC and composite features. Its high pigmentation ensures that even heavily weathered or discoloured surfaces, such as old uPVC doors or faded window frames, can achieve a fresh, uniform 'Grounded' matt finish with just two coats. The paint's self-priming nature means less preparation, allowing you to move directly to painting after cleaning.
In real-world scenarios, this paint excels in rejuvenating common exterior elements:
Front Doors and Window Frames: Easily update the curb appeal of your home by recolouring faded or stained uPVC doors and window surrounds. The quick touch-dry time allows for multiple coats within a single day.
Conservatories: Refresh the entire structure of a uPVC conservatory, restoring its original vibrancy and protecting it from mould and weather damage.
Fascias, Drainpipes, and Guttering: Provide a cohesive, updated look to all exterior plastic fixtures, ensuring they blend seamlessly with your refreshed aesthetic.
Its weather and mould resistance are critical for exterior longevity, maintaining the matt finish and structural integrity of the paint film against rain, sun, and humidity for up to a decade. The low-odour, water-based formula also makes it more pleasant to work with, especially in enclosed areas like conservatories.
Surface Preparation: Ensure the uPVC or composite surface is clean, dry, and free from any loose material, dirt, grease, or mould. Mild detergent and water followed by a thorough rinse and dry is usually sufficient. A light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper can help with adhesion on very smooth surfaces, followed by dusting.
Masking: Use painter's tape to mask off any areas you do not wish to paint, such as glass panes, hardware, or adjacent walls.
Application:
Brush/Roller: Apply evenly with a good quality synthetic brush or a foam roller for smooth surfaces.
Electric Sprayer: For optimal coverage and a very smooth finish, dilute the paint with 10-20% water as required, following your sprayer's instructions. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
Coats: Apply two coats for best results. Allow adequate drying time between coats (touch dry in 1 hour; refer to product label for full recoat time).
This paint is specifically formulated for:
uPVC doors and composite doors
uPVC window frames
Conservatories
uPVC fascias
uPVC drainpipes and guttering
Do not use on surfaces other than uPVC or composite materials.
Once painted, the surfaces are highly resistant to cracking, peeling, blistering, and mould. For general cleaning, simply wipe the painted surfaces with a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing pads, which could damage the matt finish.
