Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation is Key:
- Clean the surface thoroughly with a plastic-friendly cleaner to remove all dirt, grease, and mildew. For best results, use a solvent-based cleaner.
- Lightly abrade the surface with fine-grit sandpaper (e.g., 240 grit) to create a key for the paint to adhere to. Clean off any dust.
- Mask off any adjacent areas, glass, or hardware that you do not wish to paint using painter's tape and protective sheeting.
Application:
- Ensure the can is at room temperature (15-20°C).
- Shake the can vigorously for at least two minutes before use.
- Hold the can upright, about 25-30cm from the surface.
- Apply in thin, even coats, using a steady back-and-forth motion. Overlap each stroke slightly.
- Allow adequate drying time between coats (check can for specific recommendations, typically 10-15 minutes).
- Apply 2-3 coats for optimal coverage and durability.
Compatibility:
Suitable for uPVC windows, doors, conservatories, fascias, drainpipes, guttering, MDF, melamine, metal, and wood. Not recommended for flexible plastics or rubber.
Care:
Once fully cured, the surface is washable. Use a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
