FAQs

Do I need to sand the uPVC before painting?

While the paint is formulated to adhere without a primer, a light scuff with fine-grit sandpaper can provide a better "key" for the paint to bond to, especially on very glossy or weathered surfaces.

Can I use this on surfaces other than uPVC?

This paint is specifically formulated for uPVC windows and doors. Please consult with technical support before using it on alternative plastic materials or metals.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint features an ultra-fast drying formula to prevent dust contamination, but it is recommended to allow for a full curing period as per the product label before subjecting it to heavy use or cleaning.

Is the finish weatherproof?

Yes, once fully cured, the paint provides a durable, weather-resistant, and UV-resistant barrier suitable for exterior use.

Can I get this in any colour?

Yes, Paintnuts can supply the paint in any RAL or Pantone colour to ensure a perfect match for your property.

Troubleshooting

Paint peeling or flaking shortly after application

The surface likely had residual grease or silicone. Ensure thorough cleaning with a specialized uPVC solvent cleaner before re-applying.

Visible brush marks or uneven texture

Apply thinner coats and use a high-quality synthetic brush or a high-density foam roller designed for gloss paints.

Paint is too thick for the spray gun

Thin the paint using the manufacturer's recommended thinner until it reaches the correct viscosity for your spray nozzle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for separate priming steps
  • Highly resistant to UV damage and weathering
  • Suitable for a wide range of application tools
  • Fast-drying properties minimize dust inclusion
  • Available in custom RAL and Pantone color matching

Cons

  • Requires thorough surface cleaning to guarantee adhesion
  • Spray gun application requires specific thinning
  • Finish results depend heavily on proper surface preparation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure the uPVC surface is completely free of grease, silicone, and dirt before application. Clean the area with a suitable solvent cleaner and allow it to dry thoroughly. While no primer is needed, light sanding of extremely smooth surfaces can sometimes improve mechanical bonding. For brush or roller application, apply in thin, even coats to prevent drips. If using a spray gun, the paint should be thinned according to your specific equipment requirements. Once cured, the finish is weatherproof; for routine care, simply wipe down with a mild detergent and water, avoiding harsh abrasive cleaners.
