Well you just made my day, I am painting my house with Dulux Weathershield paint and I just jumped onto TH-cam to find out how to paint UPVC doors. Awesome that I don't have to go and buy special paint. Great video mate,
Can you use this to paint outside drain pipes? Just moved house and someone has gone to paint them orange over black hahah and the top id all white so want them all same colour. Would it cover please?
Hi Hannah, it probably would work as long as the existing paint isn't flaking. If it is then remove as much as possible and all flaky paint. Do a small test. Good luck
Hi there. 👋 I need your help finding the right type of paint for my bathroom. It's to paint over wooden surfaces which had old yellowed gloss I've already sanded down. Is there a water-based paint, for bathroom wooden surfaces which can withstand moisture exposure 💦 most recommended bathroom paints are designed for ceilings & walls 🤨
Hiya, I’ve been looking for a paint to use on our pvc caravan sink and unit - meaning it’ll be underwater often! Do you know if this would be suitable? Thanks :)
Hi Stuart, I have one concern about this and wonder if I could have your thoughts please? Being that a door is a high use/wear item, I’m wondering just how robust this paint is going to be over time? Specifically could it be likely to ‘chip off’ (for example from a key ring constantly buffering against the painted surface)? Should that happen, it would look horrendous with small white chips showing through in places. Thanks in advance.
Hi, I think the best answer would be to ask lots of people that have painted their doors this way. The Frenchic fan forum group on Facebook would be a good start. I've painted doors and kitchens and not had this issue but worst case scenario if it did, just touch up with a little paint
He start by using sugar soap you should always use ammonia for cleaning down , L LIKE HOW HE SAY'S DOORS NOT STAYING GOOD JOB AS YOU WOULDN'T WANT TO SEE IT ONE YEAR LATER ,TAKE IT FROM ME UPVC IS NOT MEANT TO BE PAINTED DON'T LISTEN TO THIS MUPPET.
Thanks for the reply. I’ve ordered after midnight. I hope it’s not too dark! And that I don’t mess up the bottom panel. That could be your next video! 😀
@@jaynecorbett6536 I was just thinking of doing this too on my front door... how did yours go? Mine is identical to this door and I hate it as it looks like it should be a back door. Do you or anyone else have any pics before I go and mess it up! 😬🤭😆 thank you
Great idea... if your white upvc windows aren't pristine after a few decades will this act like a facelift once painted on, or will it bring out the imperfections/marks? Also, will it work on what looks like aluminium powder coated sliding patio doors?
Hi Sharn. Yes will work on aluminium too, the paint is Matt finish so it's really good at hiding imperfections, for deeper holes etc then you could use a car filler and sand smooth prior to painting.
hi, as it's been over a year, how has the paint stood? i really want to paint our front composite door but my parents don't trust me lol they said it's probably going to chip, weather away etc🥲🥲 i really hope you see this!
@@lenahussein890 mine has held up well but I have a porch door so it's not exposed to the elements... I had a horrible white pvc front door which I decided to change to a black composite one
Can you use a roller for painting upvc doors with this paint? I'm a little fussy when it comes to brush marks I have just done all of my internal doors with emulsion and a roller where I could use it and a brush for the smaller areas of the door where a roller can't go they look brand new but I don't know what it will be like with paint
As long as it isnt too cheap, I like Purdy but they are pricey. Mostly i would do it with a roller and then edges with the brush- see my video - how to get a perfect finish with chalk paint :)
Sorry have to disagree on that, I've used Zinsser for various projects and it's good but I prefer to go straight on with this paint. However, if you can't get it then it's a decent alternative. 👍
@@UpcycleTV Hi...Thanks for your reply 🙂 Sorry, I should have mentioned that it is UPVC cladding. What I was meant to ask is that ....Is there is special paint (not spray paint) that can be applied by brush onto yellowing UPVC cladding ? I dont want to spend the time and money to replace the UPVC ceiling cladding.
Yes, I've done it but make sure you give the doors a very good key, use Polyvine as a primer. Make sure use is limited for a few weeks after painting to let paint cure.
Thank you so much for your lovely video so grateful 🙏 I am doing my doors and windows xx hope u had lovely weekend

Thanks Sean, glad it's helped and good luck with the painting job. All the best Stuart
Literally painting with David Brent
Thanks for taking the time to troll on my channel. 😘
Zinsser is the product to use
why didn’t you do the frame as well looks odd the way you’ve left it

Good video. You sound like Ricky Gervais.
That's the 2nd time someone's said that.
Can you do the same thing for kitchen cabinet doors
Yes absolutely, there's a video on the channel about that.

I'd be using Betec paint for that. Available from Brewers
looks really good in flesh
Fantastic perfect colour we wanted thank you!
😂😂”last thing I’m going to do...is drink this”
What was the paint brand called please.? Can't understand what you said (hearing issues).. I keep hearing "spend cheek" lol
Lol, its Frenchic
Thank you lol thats makes more sense than what I was hearing lo.

Might be pushing It a bit, painting a sink to test is on my list but I haven't done one yet.
Might be worth looking towards paints used in swimming pools at the like? Or could be better to buy a new sink possibly?

Does the paint brush leave lines?
Hi, depends on how you apply it, you can always polish out anyway.
I have a composite door that has pitted and has white spots on two thirds from the bottom of the door. It needs repainting but how ? Please help
Hard to say without seeing it but you could try a car filler compound and polish back. Depends how bad it is really
Looks good , can you paint plastic garden chairs with this paint?
Yes absolutely, I will do a video !
@@UpcycleTV Thank you , look forward to watching it .
Can you please spell th name of the paint I cannot understand
Frenchic Alfresco
And i thought it was just me.Lol
Would this paint and same preparation work on plastic cladding covering a pine end ? Thanks in advance.
Yes
I'm thinking about painting my pvc front door. Must I put on a primer before doing it?
Hi, no, not if you use the products mentioned and follow my guide.
I have a door similar to this one. Could you paint the bottom glass panel or would it look wrong? Ta
Yes, you could and it would like great, I've done it before. Let me know how you get on.
I just thought, to be on the safe side, you might want to use a glass paint as an undercoat.
Thanks for the reply. I’ve ordered after midnight. I hope it’s not too dark! And that I don’t mess up the bottom panel. That could be your next video! 😀

hi, can you use this paint on a composite door and frame? I want to change the colour from a brown-ish to a grey?
Yes absolutely.
Can I use a roller instead of a brush
@@Ad000121 I used a mini roller and brush

Hi Lee, absolutely, I like the prestige mini sleeves you can get from brewers, they are like moleskin finish.
I’m painting my upvc front door this weekend with this paint. What brush would you advise please ?????
As long as it isnt too cheap, I like Purdy but they are pricey.

Rawlins Zinsser paint is easier to find and the best quality

However, if you can't get it then it's a decent alternative.
👍
Are you aware of any of these paints that paint ceramic tiles please?
Yes check out my video where I'm painting ceramic floor tiles.
Hello sir, can we paint on plastic properly . because I tried oil paint but it's not working.
Use this paint in video and you'll be fine
Is there a paint for ceiling cladding?
Hi Figo, is that wood, painted, varnished?

@@figogaati1064 yes this paint will work fine as long as you follow the prep in video
@@UpcycleTV Thank you 🙏
Hi there - could this paint be used on laminate / glossy kitchen cabinets? I need to change them and the store no longer does that size!
Yes, I've done it but make sure you give the doors a very good key, use Polyvine as a primer. Make sure use is limited for a few weeks after painting to let paint cure.
Upcycle TV could you do a video on it please!
@@ShafinaIVohra absolutely I have a long list lol
👀
👃
O oh!, excellent 😷👌
Cant buy this paint atm
It's becoming an issue with many paints - try Dulux weathershield multisurface if you are still struggling
@@UpcycleTV actually went for sandtex upvc primer.
But got some of this for my kitchen off a small store so interested to give it a go.
Thanks
Thanks for replying, can you please send me exactly what type of this color,to I can get in India
You would be best to seek advice from the manufacturer at www.frenchicpaint.co.uk
Mine the plug with the water🤨
A waterproof socket but thanks
Name of the paint again please
Hi Kevin, this is Frenchic Alfresco! Great paint :)
Pop over to Kolorbond . We have been spraying UPVC for 20 years in the PVC industry.
