Spring is upon us and the sun is shining on tired looking UPVC downpipes, windows, doors and garden furniture across the country. Replacing exterior plastic features on a property can be expensive, and it’s often unnecessary. An alternative solution is to revive and extend the life of plastics by painting them.
Revive and extend the life of plastics by painting them
Things to consider before painting plastic
1. The condition of the plastic
You will need to do a ‘health check’ of the plastic that you’re painting. Replace any leaky gaskets and joiners on guttering, and fix or replace any faulty furniture on plastic doors and windows. Older plastics can be brittle, so make sure they are sound before painting. This is particularly important when it comes to garden furniture. In particular, check garden chair legs for brittleness.
Do a 'health check' of the plastic you're painting
Choosing an appropriate paint system
Due to the nature of plastics, it is important to use an appropriate paint system that will achieve long-lasting, high quality results. Coatings that have been designed for plastics have the following properties:
Strong adhesion
The shiny surface of plastic is difficult for standard primers and paints to adhere to. Plastic primers and paints have excellent adhesion properties to help combat this.
NOTE: You should wait a minimum of 12 months before painting newly installed UPVC. This allows time for the glossy surface to ‘dull’, making paint adhesion much easier.
Use an appropriate paint system that will achieve long-lasting, high quality results
Things you’ll need for the project
Sandpaper, paint brushes/rollers/sprayers, dustsheets, dust masks, cleaning products, paints and primers, personal protective equipment (refer to the product manufacturer’s safety data sheet).
Surface preparation
A painted surface is only as good as the preparation that has gone into it. To achieve best results, ensure the surfaces to be painted are sound, clean, dry and dust-free. Remember to work in a well-ventilated area.
Steps to take:
Plastic Paint Brush Case
1. Remove furniture
If you are painting UPVC windows or doors, remove any furniture such as bolts and latches.
2. Remove loose and failing material
Use a scraper or stiff bristle brush to remove loose materials and create sound edges. Feather any edges with a fine grade abrasive paper.
3. Clean surfaces thoroughly
Wash all plastic surfaces with a suitable detergent or sugar soap to remove moss, algae and residual dirt. Use a fungicidal wash to remove and treat any mould and mildew. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions.
4. Create a key
Older surfaces may have a sufficient key, but new and shiny surfaces will need to be abraded with a fine grade abrasive paper.
5. Remove any dust and grease
Clean the surface with methylated spirits or a suitable degreasing agent for a residue-free surface that is ready for coating. Allow to dry.

Brushable Paint For Plastic
There are two main paint systems, what you choose will depend on your preferred type of paint and finish. Always refer to the manufacturer’s instructions to establish if a primer and undercoat is required.
Plastic Paint Brush Handles
Multi-surface paints
The main benefit of multi-surface paints is that they self prime. They come in a wide variety of colours and finishes that can be applied by brush, roller or spray. Both water-based and solvent-based paints are available for interior and exterior use. In most cases, multi-surface paint can be applied to previously painted surfaces. Quick-dry products are readily available, as are products with added features such as fungicidal degradation properties.
The paint system:
Multi-surface paints are generally self-priming and use a two-coat system. The first coat primes and seals the surface and creates good adhesion. The second coat adds protection and provides an even finish.
Gloss paints
Standard exterior gloss paint is a suitable finish for plastic when used in conjunction with an appropriate primer and undercoat. Either acrylic or oil-based gloss can be used, and both are available in a wide range of colours. Typical application methods include brush, roller and spray. This is a more traditional system than using MSP as detailed above.
The paint system:
1. Primer
Priming plastic surfaces improves adhesion and helps to create an even overall finish.
Choose a low odour, all-purpose exterior primer and sealer that is suitable for use on plastics. A primer with mould and mildew resistant properties will offer even better results.
Bare plastic:
Once clean and sound, previously unpainted plastic should be treated with an appropriate primer and allowed to dry.
Plastic that has been previously painted:
Patch prime any exposed plastic and allow to dry.
2. Undercoat
Apply an acrylic undercoat if you are using an acrylic topcoat and an oil-based undercoat for oil-based topcoats. Allow to dry.
3. Topcoat
Apply an appropriate acrylic or oil-based topcoat and allow to dry, followed by a second coat to finish.

Plastics Make it Possible® attended the Architectural Digest Home Design Show to check out the latest trends in home design and interior decorating. One of our key findings from the Show—colors are back in a big way!
A new paint color is often one of the easiest ways to breathe new life into an otherwise drab space. “One of the most basic tools that any designer has is color,” said designer James Rixner in the Show’s Designer Seminar Series. “It can serve as a ‘picture frame’ of what you want to highlight in a room.”
Are There Plastics in Paint?
While oil-based paints still are widely used, “latex” paints that typically combine water and plastics have increased dramatically in popularity, particularly with do-it-yourselfers. The term latex originally referred to the use of latex from rubber trees for the solid part of the paint that actually creates the paint film. Today various plastics are used such as polyvinyls, polyurethanes, polyesters and acrylics. (“Acrylic latex paint” is sometimes mistakenly used to refer to any water-based paints that use plastics.)
Benefits of Plastic Based Paint
These latex paints take advantage of various properties of plastics. These plastic based paints are quick to cure, durable and washable. They often cover in one coat and clean up with water for minimal fuss.
Plastic Based Paint Trends
Before you pick up your brush or roller, check out some of the latest trends in painting:
- Plastic Based Paint for Exteriors: If you’re looking to brighten up the exterior color of your home, look for latex paints that stand up to harsh weather and contain solar reflectivity formulation technology to help reduce heat absorption in the walls. This reduces the temperature inside the house, helping cut down on those air conditioning bills in summer!
- Lighten Up with White Plastic Based Paint: Bright whites are still go-to colors because they can quickly lighten up a room. But if you’re repainting with a similar shade of white, it can be tricky to see exactly where you’ve painted. Check out the new latex paints with special additives that actually roll on pink, allowing you to easily see your progress. And then have fun watching the paint dry as the disappearing dye fades to reveal your fresh shade of white. Yes—watching paint dry can be fun!
- Plastic Based Paint for Wood Floors: One of the latest trends in interior design is something unexpected—painted floors. Instead of repairing dingy old hardwoods or installing new flooring, try refinishing hardwoods with a durable latex paint. It can help bring out the warmth in the room—and you can readily change the color as often as you like.
- Plastic Lightens the Load: Some brands have switched to plastic paint containers that feature twist-off lids, side handles and easy-pour spouts. The plastic cans are lightweight, won’t rust and are easier to carry. No more can openers!
