Well done mate, nothing wrong with having a go. Been a painter for 25years. You have done a better job than most painters who are after the quick cash grab. Also for others moaning about painting UPVC, I have seen this first hand last for 8-10years (longer than paint on timber windows/fascias/soffits). The zinsser products are unbeatable. Do not react, crack, peel providing cleaned and prepared properly. Dont listen to the haters. My only criticism is get a better brush & roller or try spraying. The pro rollers and brushes arent much more expensive but will give a better finish, easier...
@@ShaneJenkins-z9r Thanks Shane for your very kind feedback. Can I ask please are there any rollers and brushes you’d recommend for someone like the kind of occasional work I do? 👍
@@Hand-i-Craft purdy rollers, they do a range of sleeves for different finishes/paints. Then either purdy brushes, or Screwfix have ice fusion which are similar to use but just don't last as long (everyday use).
I do have a spray gun Tony, however it is an additional expense and if people are considering doing this as a one off DIY job then I think it is better to demonstrate it with a brush and roller 👍
Did my front door 4 years ago with zinsser all coat in farrow and ball Pigeon colour match and it looks as good as when I first painted it,I just added a bit of floetrol paint conditioner because it was hot when I did it and the floetrol stops it from drying out to quick especially when hand painting a large door plus it levels the paint slightly as well.
That’s correct Fred, I’ve said it in quite a few replies here that I was happy doing it like this as it’s just the workshop, but if I was doing the house windows for example then yes I would paint with the window open to cover the underside 👍👍
I'm gonna come right out and say it. . . Masking/Taping up one-handed; you are a god! And the use of the roller was actually a tip to me. I don't like brush strokes and that was an eye opener. Cheers Leo the outside colour scheme is looking good.
Really kind of you as ever Keith😀. Things like the taping are great for me as it helps to improve the coordination in my left hand. I’ve noticed quite an improvement over the last few years but still someway to go 😀👍

Nice job Leo. Five years ago I changed my guttering to black. The rest of the pipes were grey. I painted them with one coat of Hammerite smooth coat. Still can't tell the difference between them and the black guttering.
The Allcoat is another one of Zinsser’s miracle paints. I’ve sprayed all the white walls in the house (with the exterior version) and it has a very nice flat finish. It is also tintable to most colours if you want some exotic shade of some colour.
Hey! Can I ask how the windows are looking now? After a delightful wet and miserable British winter? Have you noticed any peeling or chipping? Is the finish looking good still? I’m about to set about sprucing up some white PVC windows here and the minefield of paint choices are astonishing….and extremely confusing! 😖
Cheers for the message. Up here in the north west we get the worst of everything weather wise! Windows still look great and I’d definitely recommend the Zinnser Allcoat (the one I used was the water based, much easier to apply than the solvent based). Make sure you follow the preparation steps I did as the prep is the key to a good result. And don’t worry about the first coat looking a bit crap, that’s the primer coat and the second coat will look great! Finally remember to open the windows when painting so you get full coverage. I didn’t on my as it’s just the workshop and I don’t open them often but you also want to paint underneath where the frame and window meet 👍
Looks awesome Leo. Allcoat is a good product along side barn paint. I apply a coat of whitsons adhesion primer beforehand on plastic. Little more piece of mind. Very much enjoyed thank you.
Nice job Leo. I’d be interested in a follow up some time later to see how the paint holds up. We’ve got a brown framed conservatory but white windows everywhere else and the replacement roof on the conservatory is white so I’ve been thinking of something similar to paint the frames white. One tip I use is to wrap the brush and roller in a polythene bag after use so no air gets in. It’ll keep them fresh to continue painting the next coat and saves you cleaning them between coats. Works fine overnight so be no issue for quick drying paint like this
Hi, thanks for the video, I am looking at painting my interior white from rosewood, would you suggest a white primer first or will the Zinsser Allcoat be okay with 2 coats? Also is the paint solvent based and one thing you never did in the video was open the window which I would need to consider - are there any implications with painting the openings? Thanks in advance
Thanks for the message. I’m pretty sure you’d be fine with two coats of Allcoat as the first coat acts as a primer. There are both solvent and water based versions of it and I used the water based👍. And yes if I was painting the house windows I’d have them opened to give whole coverage, doesn’t matter so much for workshop windows, as long as they look ok closed 😀
Great video, excellent clear advice, came here looking for information on a decent paint to use along with application method, i have an 100 ltr compressor for nail gun use im kinda thinking of going down the spray gun use with this paint any suggestions on what type on spray gun i should be using with this paint ..cheers guys

@@Hand-i-Craft I would go for a Hamilton or Harris to keep the cost down. Screwfix or Toolstation do them. Speed is the key here, I would roll a door then tip it off with a brush before it starts to dry. My opinion only, but it works for me. Wet the brush and shake it out first.👍

Interesting to watch. Does it mean when u open window there will be a white tide mark where the window seals to frame? Does anyone try to paint with window open? Thank u for sharing
Thanks for the message, yes if doing it for the house I’d paint them with the window open so you also cover the recess underneath. Workshop window I didn’t bother as they are hardly ever opened 👍👍
Hi thank you so much for the video this was eye opening! I'm thinking of painting my doors and windows and was wondering how much paint you'd recommend for 4 windows (large-ish) and the door?
Nice work gonna do my brown upvc in anthracite using the paint you suggested, did you find any brush strokes as was debating on spraying instead, also how many coats did you use to get the final finish? thanks
Cheers Rob, I brushed on and then finished with a foam roller. Spraying would be great but I wanted to slow in this video it could be done with basic equipment. Two coats for me, the first is definitely a primer coat and looks pretty grim but when you apply the second coat it looks great 👍👍
@@RobBZwift Go for the roller as once you’ve applied a coat. You need to roller it before it dries to help get rid of the brush strokes. Be warned it dries quickly so don’t paint too big and area before using the roller as you’ll find it’s dried and too late for the roller. Don’t ask me how I know 😂
Held up really well pal, very happy with the results. The door has taken a few heavy knocks when I’ve been moving stuff in and out so will require a couple of touch ups at some point. Yes magic eraser would probably be a good idea, or a scotch brite pad 👍👍

Thank you. Paint looks great, I painted the door as well. The door has needed a couple of little touch ups where I’ve banged it, but the windows have been spot on 😀👍
Nice one, looking to do the same using some old windows from a home improvement done last year. Glad to see it came out good. The windows open right? So you'll have a bit inside to paint with them open.
I was surprised that you didn’t open the windows when painting so you could degrease and paint the frame under the window itself. Also there’s a risk that the paint will split where it’s formed a seal across the bridge between the window and the frame. Maybe run round with a blade before you open it the first time
If I was painting them for the house windows I’d definitely would have opened up the windows and painted on the underside. These workshop windows are fine as they are as they remain closed for the majority of the time 👍👍
Sugar soap comes in either concentrated form or ready to use pal. It’s recommended to use sugar soap on walls before painting them so thought it would be appropriate to use it here. Worked really well 😀😀👍👍
@@Hand-i-Craft I’d appreciate that. I’m doing up an old outhouse into a shed - your roof panel videos have already been very helpful watching Managed to get a couple of windows and door off an old site Would like them to be black the same as yours So I’m eager to see if the door comes up as well
Can you post a follow up on this job? I bet the paint is already cracking and peeling off after 1 year. Paint your PVC window only if you are selling the house, it is purely extetic but will not last. Laminate a UV resisting film for PVC if you are not planning to sell
I've been decorating for over 50 years and have never seen anything like this,Firstly sugar soap waste of time use ammonia dilute it with water ( hot) 5 to1 secondly don't use masking tape if you can't cut in you can't paint and thirdly don't paint upvc windows as it won't last PS WOULD LOVE TO THIS JOB IN A COUPLE OF YEARS
@@gordonnewton4832 I take all your points on board Gordon. If you look at my channel I’ve done a shorts video update one year on and they still look as good as the day I done them 👍👍
