Full details
This UpaintPVC Black Gloss 250ml is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to refresh and repair existing uPVC and plastic surfaces. Its key benefit is providing a durable, high-quality gloss finish that restores faded or damaged items like windows, doors, and gutters with ease. A minor caveat is that the 250ml pot is best suited for touch-ups and smaller projects, not complete renovations of very large areas. This solvent-based paint offers UV and weather resistance, excellent color stability, and flexibility, making it ideal for recoloring, regenerating, and retouching worn uPVC, plastic, and plastisol.
