FAQs

Do I need to sand the uPVC before painting?

While the paint is designed to adhere without a primer, a light sanding with fine-grit paper can help improve adhesion, especially on older, weathered uPVC.

Can I use this on surfaces other than uPVC?

This paint is specifically formulated for uPVC. For other materials, we recommend testing a small, inconspicuous area first.

How many coats are typically required?

Usually, two thin, even coats are sufficient for full coverage and maximum durability.

Is this paint suitable for interior use?

Yes, it is suitable for both interior and exterior uPVC, though it is specifically engineered to handle harsh exterior weather conditions.

How should I clean my brushes after use?

Clean your tools immediately after use using the appropriate solvent or cleaning agent recommended for this paint type.

Is the finish water-resistant immediately?

No, it requires time to cure. Avoid exposing the freshly painted surface to rain or heavy moisture until it has fully dried.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not sticking to the surface

The surface likely has residual grease or silicone. Clean the area thoroughly with a degreaser or solvent cleaner before reapplying.

Spray gun is clogging during application

The paint is likely too thick. Add a small amount of the recommended thinner until the viscosity is suitable for your specific spray nozzle.

Streaking or brush marks visible

Apply thinner coats and use a higher-quality synthetic brush designed for fast-drying paints. Ensure you are not over-working the paint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent adhesion to uPVC surfaces
  • Weatherproof and UV-resistant formula
  • No primer required for most applications
  • Available in multiple application formats including spray and brush
  • Fast-drying to prevent contamination

Cons

  • Requires thinning for optimal use with spray guns
  • Requires proper surface cleaning for best results
  • Finish selection must be specified at time of purchase

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the uPVC surface is completely clean, dry, and free of grease, silicone, or wax, as these will prevent proper adhesion. While no primer is required, a light scuffing with a fine-grit sanding pad can improve mechanical bonding on very smooth surfaces.

  • Brush/Roller: Apply in thin, even coats, allowing for appropriate drying time between layers.
  • Spray Gun: Thin the paint appropriately; test on a scrap piece of plastic first to confirm flow consistency.
  • Care: Once fully cured, the surface can be cleaned with a mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could compromise the topcoat.
