You can apply Ronseal uPVC Paint directly to the surface without the need of a primer and it'll be rain ready in 1 hour. This product covers 6.5 m²/litre, needs 2 to 3 coats, can be applied with a brush, roller or sprayer, is dry to touch in 1 hour and if needed can be recoated in 1 hour. When using Ronseal's uPVC Paint, wait for a warm dry day, above 10°C, and not likely to rain. Cold, wet weather can stop the paint from drying properly. Make sure the area you're painting is clean, dry and free from dirt, dust & grease. Wash the surface with warm soapy water, rinse and leave to dry thoroughly before painting. Then make sure the surface is smooth, any damaged areas will need repairing before painting. Lightly sand the area to give it an even finish. Use 180-220grit sandpaper to do this. If you're painting over previously painted uPVC and the paint is in good condition, just give it a light sand with 240grit sandpaper. If it’s flaking or cracked, you’ll need to sand it off. Use 120grit sandpaper. Remember to wear a face mask. Clean up any dust and wipe with a damp cloth. Give the paint a really good stir. Then paint it on with a brush or foam roller. Leave it to dry for 2-4 hours, then put your second coat on. If you’re painting over a dark colour you may need to put a third coat on. Your last coat will be waterproof in 1 hour.
This guide is for homeowners looking to refresh their uPVC windows and doors with a durable, long-lasting paint. The key benefit of using Ronseal uPVC Paint is its ability to directly adhere to the surface without primer, saving you time and effort.
