Superb buddy. Just what I was looking for.
We’re buying a 1950s property with recently added brown windows. We hate the colour of the UPVC but as they are new we don’t want to replace them. Having stumbled across your video we are 100% more confident to paint them ourselves and give them a brand new look. Thanks for sharing this!
No problem at all, thank you!
first, check out the product reviews before handing over a load of cash.
Cool Transformation.
Excellent thank you!
Great vid! I got a quote for £700 to spray my windows as I’m hopeless at doing stuff like this, however, your vid gives me confidence that I may be able to do it myself although I’m not sure if that’s misplaced confidence….
Id love to sse you do more you made it look easey 👍
Find us on Facebook at The Property Fixers UK, we're always adding the stuff we're working on 👍
Awesome bro !!!
I’m going to attempt this Friday m8 but I’m going to order the same brand but In the spray tins as I don’t have a spray gun cheers for this mate
Missed a bit!😊
What a great video.. Can I ask what psi you have your compressor set at?? Many thanks
Great video mate just wondering is there a specific spray gun I should use? Thanks in advance
What spray machine did you use to paint with and will this do kitchen cabinet as well ?
So, my window frame is starting to flake in one area, looks like it is aluminium underneath with a upvc coating perhaps? Either way, would it work if I was to strip it back a bit, then paint over?
Would a Wagner W590 HVLP sprayer be suitable for the Kolorbond UPVC paint?
Great video very informative 👏 I've just brought a compressor and set to give my Windows a go. My question is would you be able to do a more detailed video on masking ? Would really appreciate the knowledge before I have a go on mine.
Keep the videos coming
Thanks Danny
Hey, first of all thanks for the compliment! I think it would be easier if you could find our Facebook page and message that. That way I could send you pics and maybe short videos on it 👍
Andy
Hi, great video, really helpful.
Have a question on the finish.
When the window opens outwards. Is a white line around the frame where window would open and close acceptable or do you mask off somehow to get this painted too?
thanks.
IK
Good question. I've masked it off from the inside after opening the window as wide as possible on larger windows. On smaller ones I used cardboard to block the opening.
You could leave a white bit if you want but it looks terrible when the windows are open.
Hope this helps
Andy
That's a great help, thanks. I've patio doors that need this treatment, newer than the rest of the windows which we're due to replace. This will help with getting rid of the feuchie broon as we call it here in Aberdeenshire lol. I'll look through the comments to find the materials you used - hopefully, Screwfix and Toolstation in Aberdeen can supply all. It'll be the same RAL code that you used that I'll need. Fingers crossed it goes well......
Good luck with it, if you need any more advice feel free to ask!
@The Property Fixers Hi there 👋 The products used and techniques you demonstrated in this vid provided the most aesthetically pleasing outcome that I've seen from painting PVC windows in my hours of online and RUclips research. My only issue is that I live in The U.S. 🙄😂 and it appears that Kolorbond is not a distributor in the states. Would you be able to recommend any products or kits, for those of us across the pond, that would work in the same fashion and provide similar, if not exact, results to what you've achieved here? Thanks for any help you can offer, our front windows could really use a revamp!
great video is the paint scratch proof as i have customer who wants there door sprayed but they door keeps jumping up at door and scratching it?
Looking at doing this job myself. I note you have sprayed over the black rubber I think there's a good chance this will crack up and come of in a few months/ years time.. my windows are brown wood grained look think will for a roller
Hi Victor, the Kolorbond paint is marketed as being able to bond to rubber....but....i did actually mask over it as I don't want to run the risk. The masking tape is quite translucent when applied and that perhaps makes it look like it wasn't applied to the rubber.
I would suggest though that you do leave a very tiny edge of rubber unmasked to allow the paint to cover all the Pvc, otherwise you run the risk of still having some of the old colour visible when the tape is peeled off.
Thank you for viewing the video 🙂
What compressor would you recomend?
great job. what are the basic specs for your gun? kolorbond have recommended i use a HVLP gun with a 1.4mm nozzle/cfm 4.5. i plan to use a 3HP /100ltr compressor /14cfm. can i also ask how is removing the old silicone? is it a difficult procedure?
Thanks, I'm using the Iwata AZ3 with the standard 1.3mm nozzle. I prefer this one as I can regulate the air pressure with the built in valve on the bottom. Your compressor will be more that enough to do it, I think my one has a maximum 10cfm.
Honestly, the silicon is a bitch, I'd recommend a sharp Stanley blade to cut as big a V as you can to remove a lot of it first. Then believe it or not I found a big flat blunt screwdriver at a shallow angle worked best to remove the remainder silicon off the Pvc frame.
Hope this helps 👍
I’ve got a suction feed gun with a 1.7mm nozzle. Do you think I will be ok using it or change out the nozzle?
Excellent video
Will be a job for after winter now ❄️❄️
Couple of questions
First did you mask off the black rubber exterior seal or was that coated with paint?
Second already have a paint sprayer (erbauer 700w hvlp) would this work for painting window frames?
Yes I normally mask off the rubber but not right to the very edge of the Pvc otherwise when you take the tape off you might still see some of the original colour. So tend to overlap and spray about 1mm of the rubber.
I wouldn't recommend using that sprayer. We have the same one and use it for masonry painting and since you can't regulate the air pressure I don't think it would be good enough.
Hope this helps
Andy
Hi - What equipment did you use for this - Brands please for sprayer etc?
Thanks just what I needed to see. Kinda' stuck between 3 companies to purchase my UPVC paint from.
Kolorbond
HMG
ColourPro
Did you use the kolorbond K2 or just their standard UPVC one and also been a quiery of mine. How long after spraying the final coat on a door, is it safe to close it for good.
I just used their standard UPVC paint and it hasn't let me down yet.
As long as the ambient air is dry and above 8'c I've closed the door after around 2 - 2.5 hours and not had any issues. But I'd always suggest trying to leave it as long as you can.
Hope this helps
If you did want to protect the walls while doing this, how best to do it? Thanks
You can buy rolls of masking paper the same as I used on the glass from toolstation and probably the green frog tape/masking tape would be best to stick the edges. Hope this helps 😁
Where can I view price list for Windows and doors? Cheers
Looks fantastic 👌 what type of compressor do you use?
Thanks Kev, just a cheap 24 litre powercraft compressor 👍
Hi, what colour and paint you used?
Thinking of doing the same to the front of my house. How long can the paint be kept in the gun for? Were you cleaning, prepping and spraying each window individually?
Hi, I was able to keep the paint in the gun for a day and didn't suffer any issues with clogging (it might be able to last longer) and on average I was doing around 3 windows a day but that also included touching up the masonry paint and moving the scaffold tower.
I also generally prepped each window as I went too.
Hope this helps
Andy
@@thepropertyfixers3028 thank you. Enjoying your journey and glad your passing on the lessons learnt. Keep it up👍
what are the makes of the window prep and vinyl please? :)
We actually get them from Kolorbond too. They pretty much supply everything you need.
Hope this helps
Can I use these for kitchen cabinets? If so, would that be the same paint?
I wouldn't use the paint I'm showing here but Kolorbond do have a 2 part paint that sticks to nearly everything....... I think!
Can you please list the materials, vinyl clean etc that you use, makes etc and where to buy? Thanks.
Hey, I use the Kolorbond paint and if you call them they will give you all the other cleaning/prep materials that I used in the video.
Simon is propably the best person to speak to he helped to get me sorted out the first time I bought the products.
Hope this helps
Andy
@@thepropertyfixers3028 Thanks mate.
What about to edges and inner of the frame when you open the windows they will show as original colour
Yes they will still show as original if you don't paint them too.
For on the cheap it looks good
Great video!!
Can I ask:
1. Did you use a 2 pk high adhesion resin polycrylic paint for the UVPC windows? If not, is it OK not to?
2. Did you need to mix with a Thinner? If so, what ratio?
3. Did you need to use an Activator?
The Kolorbond paint is straight out the tin onto the Pvc, you don't need to add thinners or a hardener. They do have a 2 part paint for non pvc use too if you need it.
@@thepropertyfixers3028 hi what's the durability of the paint. I have read that UPVC won't hold paint for long
@@sulthanabegum1350 Hey, according to Kolorbond the paint actually bonds with the PVC and doesn't just coat it therefor giving it a very long durability 👍 The first window I painted a few years ago still looks as good as new.
@@thepropertyfixers3028 thanks for your reply!
Have you got a link for the product’s you used 👍🏻
Of course...

Hi , do you use a water filter and a regulator for the spray gun? Thanks
Hi, I've not attached the water filter on this occasion but there's no harm in adding it. The spray gun I use has a regulating valve at the base but if it didn't have one I would definitely add one in-line.
Hope this helps
Andy
@@thepropertyfixers3028 Thanks for the reply I appreciate your help 👍
Whats the viscosity of the paint before it goes in sprayer ,do you thin it ,great work thanks for any advice 👌👌👍
Hi, the Kolorbond paint we use doesn't need thinned down at all. It's ready to spray straight out of the tin 👍
Thankyou very much what psi and cfm do u recomend on my compressor spray gun and how far will one tin go would it do a small terraced house thanks hope they turn out like yours look brand new saving me loads 👍
@@texasdalton7810 my compressor has a max 10cfm and on the local regulator I'm somewhere in the mid 30s for psi....i think. To be honest I do a quick test spray to get myself happy with the fan before spraying the window.
If you're buying Kolorbond then I suggest giving them a call (ask for Simon) and they're pretty good at recommending the volume you need but I did 12 windows and 2 doors from 2 litres and still have some left.
Hope this helps!
Nice work... How easy does this paint scratch..
It's been quite robust for us once dry. It's been knocked with tools and materials on the front door and still remained intact.
My question is how long does that stay stuck to the upvc? Does it scratch off when the window cleaner does his job?
It shouldn't do if enough coats are added but just to be on the safe side, it may be best to go over with a multi surface clearcoat lacquer. That being said, most durable/external paints are designed to be safe regardless of weather/stress so best to read up on whichever paint you choose and go from there 😊
Hi do you have a link or the paint? Also is it scratch resistant and does it need any sort of clearcoat?
Hey, yes I'll post a reply with the company's Facebook page. It's been quite scratch resistant so far for us and we've never had to put a clear coat on.
Hope this helps

I used black hammerite internally never painted upvc door before and it turned out quite some contamination but ill wet and dry and touch up at a later date
Hi mate
I'm looking at buying a Graco 9.5 hvlp to do this
Can you suggest a cheaper alternative hvlp with same results
Thanks
Keep up the good work 👷🏻♂️

How would you prevent getting paint on the brickwork?
You can mask it off from the silicon line with either brown masking paper or light plastic sheeting. I prefer to use the brown paper and as it's on brick you can use a much more rubust tape like duct tape instead of generic masking tape.
Hope this helps
Andy
@@thepropertyfixers3028 thank you. Can't wait to try this
Hi great video what sprayer dod you use it looks like a earuber
Certainly was, I think it's still on sale in screwfix for £50-£60
Hi did you use a diffrent hose with the gravity spray gun thanks
@@johnbish9479 so sorry, for some reason I thought this was another video we did. It was a compressor I used for the air supply on the window painting not the erbauer.
Looks great!! Great work. How long does the paint last ?
I'm pretty sure the guarantee was 5 or 10 years but I can't remember to be honest. Once it's dried completely it has taken a fair bit of abuse from us in the past.
1.25 L is enough for 6 windows ( 1.2 x 1.8 m) ?
Thanks
Can you paint the interior side of PVC windows?
Yes, absolutely 👍
How much is kolourbond approx per litre
If I remember right it was about £30ish per litre.
What about the rubber seal? U painted it and now it s ruined
The 1st coat should of been a dust coat .
Don’t you have to prime um mate
No, just prep it with the products and spray straight on.
The reviews for this product on Face Book are not good. Sure, there are the glowing 5-star reviews that no one can ever trust. But check out the 1 & 2-star reviews, to get a more honest review of this product. To us, using this product seems to be a bit of a gamble.
Turned the video off after 2 minutes and 8 seconds because there was no information apart from trying to be funny. Seriously dude, may I recommend next time you get into the actual painting of upvc.
