The window glass was cold, but the vinyl was not. I didn't have any issues with it being too cold. It's been about 3 years and it still looks like it was just done. The windows have been opened and closed a lot - no signs of wear, no scratches, no peeling. I never did go back and paint the inside (because I honestly just didn't care enough to spend more time on it). I can't speak to how well that would hold up. I didn't sand them because my vinyl is a faux wood-look vinyl and already had a texture to it. If I was painting on smooth vinyl, I probably would have lightly sanded it first.

Satin is a little less flat than matte paint, so it should be easier to wipe and clean. Flat paint tends to show marks and be harder to clean.

I don't know what you're going through in life, but I certainly hope that making an unnecessarily rude comment on a stranger's video from two years ago made you feel better about yourself.

It was merely an observation. I wasn't trying to be rude. I'm sorry if you took it that way. Great job on the windows by the way.

Thank you so much! I don't normally make content like this so I was nervous. I'm glad someone likes it! ❤️

If I remember to do an update at the right time of day, I will! The camera won't focus well that close with bright light coming in through the windows. It might be easier on a cloudy day. The paint looks exactly the same as it did 2 years ago! The texture on my windows will likely be different because my vinyl had a faux wood texture, so it looks like black wood grain. If you have regular smooth vinyl windows then it will look different.

Hello! So I'm assuming that you had no issues with the windows not opening? I'm terrified of the way windows can get painted shut.@@officiallybrittanynicole

Oh gosh, it's been so long I don't remember. If you look by the paint supplies you will see it. It comes in a roll and is intended for the floors/along the baseboards.

@@officiallybrittanynicole okay, thank you! 👍

They have held up great for almost 3 years now. So it doesn't appear to be REQUIRED in my case. I did mention that mine are faux wood look vinyl so there is a texture for the paint to grip to and the vinyl is matte. I've suggested sanding to everyone that has commented with additional questions though.

I didn't, and I wouldn't recommend doing that with paint like this. The sun hits the outside of your windows and black paint could attract too much heat and warp the vinyl. Professionals use UV safe paint for the outside, so I would either hire someone to do that or really research the right paint to use.

They still look exactly the same! No scratches or anything. But with that being said, I only open/close these windows a few months out of the year when the weather is nice enough.

Yes, I sprayed right over them and they lock and unlock great. I had them locked for the first coat and unlocked for the second coat so that may have helped.

Yes! Still looks like they were just done. But for reference, I live in Michigan and there are only about 4 months out of the year that I open and close those windows. Could be different if they were being used daily.

It's been a few years and they still look freshly painted! It's held up great.

No, you would need to use a UV safe paint on the outside because the sun hits the outside of the windows. The sun could heat up the black paint and warp the vinyl. I would honestly probably not DIY the outside myself for that reason.

Same!

I don't open/close the one window very often, but the one above the sink gets opened frequently and I haven't had any issues with peeling or scratching. It still looks like it was just done :)

Also what products did you use to clean the windows?

Thank you! I just used my regular all purpose cleaner. I change brands all the time so I'm not sure what I used then.

It was freezing outside

@@officiallybrittanynicole hope they don't get stuck when they dry.

@@malcolmmoffat2108 Dude. This video is a year old. 😂 They are very much dry.

@@officiallybrittanynicole what about when you first done them,didn't. Open no rebates .

@@malcolmmoffat2108 That sentence makes literally no sense. They have never stuck, chipped, bubbled, or anything. If the windows had been under warranty I wouldn't have done this because it can void a warranty, but that wasn't an issue here. I have no idea what you mean by rebates. But if you can't leave a helpful comment then go do something better with your time. Life is too short for your negativity.

It still looks like it was just done! No peeling or scratches or anything. I'm super happy with it.

Nope! I kind of wondered if it would, but they've been fine. Granted, I rarely lock my kitchen windows so it might be different if you lock/unlock frequently.

Nope! It's been about a year and they still look great!

@@officiallybrittanynicole awesome. You should post a follow up to let us know how it held up

I have white curtains on one of the windows and the other has nothing. I think the white looks best with my white cabinets and white baseboards. It just depends on how the rest of the room is styled. But anything neutral should look good!!

Thank you for the support, Lissa! 🥰 TikTok makes me buy SO many unnecessary things. 😂

You would need UV safe paint to do it on the outside so that the heat from the sun doesn't warp the windows. Personally, I would hire a professional to do the outside to be safe.

@@officiallybrittanynicole I'll do this on the exterior, I'll be your guinea pig, the windows in a perpetually shaded area I think it will be fine, also I checked and the spray is uv resistant and rated for exteriors

I did not do the outside and I wouldn't recommend doing the outside yourself. You need to use special UV safe paint if you're going to do the outside. Otherwise when the sun hits the window it will cause the vinyl to heat up and warp. If you want the outside done, I would probably hire someone.
