Hello everyone, we have white vinyl windows and want to paint it dark brown. Can someone send me the info? I have been googling like crazy and that's how I came about to this site.

Thanks

I just had vinyl windows installed and would like the trim painted brown. Do you have further information that you can send me?

Can you please send me info on how to paint vinyl windows, I have two beautiful windows I would like to paint and not replace due to color.

Hi! I read this link from the beginning all good. I am in CA. I am remodeling my whole house and really want brown windows. I am out of money and am thinking of getting white vinyl and painting it later. Sounds like warrenty can be voided or paint can warp. What to do? gloriagocargo83@aol.com

Normally yes it would void any warranty on the window as darker colors absorb heat, and the paint more than likely will not hold up very well.

thank you. I am leaning on getting the brown vinyl on windows and getting metal primered doors that i can paint.

Do yourself a favor though and get a good quality brown window and don't get a window only because it is brown.

Houseful, I do not like to bother you, but could I pretty please have the info for the vinyl window paint as well? Thank you!!

I was going with Milgard but there windows would take 6 weeks. I decided on Value they will take 3 weeks. Both are white on the inside brown on the outside. Warranty is as long as you own the house and don't paint them.

thanks Houseful for taking time to post the info - you are the best!!!

Houseful - I too would like to get info on the painting of the white vinyl windows, but new to the forum (sign up etc) but I can 't seem to figure out how to reach you to receive more information .I can be reached at airstrip@hotmail.com thank you - jason

ok I have my value windows up. White on the inside brown in the ouutside. they look nice. I did recieve on a paint to cover in amizon.

what type of paint was it? how did you apply, spray?

I have not painted mine yet. I like the way it looks and dont want to forfeit warranty. I recieved info on AmazonSmile: Plasti-Kote

I want to paint my white vinyl windows brown. What paint do you recommend?

Hi Houseful, I am a painting contractor in Colorado, I am currently researching painting vinyl windows for a upcoming project, the residence is about 12 yrs old with white exterior vinyl windows and the owner wants them to painted a deep red and the one thing I keep hearing is that dark colors are the worst. Any suggestions?

I still kept mine white on the inside espresso on the outside. I have a five year warranty if something goes wrong, but if I paint them it will forfeit my warranty. I wanted to paint the white part espresso. In my research I found Amazon Plasti-Kote.

Im considering skipping the paint and installing a masonry frame on top of window frame, but i wonder how well masonry adhesive will work on vinyl.So, i' m thinking maybe i can install thin hardy backer, by screwing to my window frame and applying mortar on top ( my window frames are flat and 4" thick). would this cause shrinking also?

Could you email me the info?

May I please have the info on painting vinyl Windows? Thanks!

Please send me the info also.

I would like the information too. Thank you.

Please pass on the information you mention in your article. I have two vinyl windows in our kitchen that I'm currently remodeling. They are light beige and I want them white to go with our Shaker cabinets. Thank you...

Hello... I have new Milgard patio sliding doors with white exterior. I made a mistake with the white exterior and need to paint them to match the exterior trim of my condo. The contractor is not willing to help, so I need any information you can provide to accomplish this task using the best process available using the best paint for vinyls.

Read back and then look up the product near you. I never did change my vinyl windows. Long story I was supposed to get Milgard ended up with Value windows. The contractor ripped me off.

Sorry, it looks like Houseful has gone out of business.....

look up Plasti-kote on line maybe amazon look up derections for vinyl windows.

I'd like the info on doing this.

We have Milgard white vinyl windows and after 11 years, we would love to paint them dark bronze. Can this be done without the paint chipping off? Any other issues with doing so? Please forward any information you can to us. Thank you much.

Houseful's info was: "The company was ESI out of Ohio. The guys name was Dave and his number was 513-884-0609."

I'd like that information - I just installed vinyl windows. Exterior is dark grey, interior is white. The white is very visible and isn't what I had wanted, but it's too late to reorder them now. Would your information also work on windows with moving parts that come in contact with each other?

Please send me the information on how to paint them.

Houseful hasn't been on the forum for years. I posted the information for what its worth which is probably nothing since its 12 years old. Please stop reactivating a dead thread.

Hi! I know this is an old thread but if possible can you please send me info!?

...

This thread is 10 years old. The ppl are long gone. JDS posted the info up thread already.

Suggest posting a new topic in either the window forums or the paint forum.

way up there she posted the guy's name and number - scroll about halfway up

Please send the information on the epoxy paint. Thank you!

This thread is 13 years old. The info, if it is still even accurate, is:

Krylon Spray Fusion for Plastic and Rust-Oleum Spray Paint for Plastic should work if you study the instructions and clean, de-gloss and wipe the PVC well before painting. I would try both paints on a PVC pipe and experiment with non-residue cleaners and chemical or mechanical means of removing the gloss finish of the PVC starting with glass cleaner or TSP and very fine silicone carbine sandpaper or a chemical de-glosser. Let this stuff dry a week or more before testing. Then try it on a window you can afford to replace and wait a few months before doing the rest of them.

Don't expect the best results if the new color is much different in value from the old one (i.e. dark vs light) And expect dark colors to fade especially red. PVC tends to expand in sunlight and darker finishes might increase that problem.

I would only trust the results of my own experiments.

All you folks looking to paint white vinyl windows in dark colors: the issue actually is more than whether the paint sticks, but there is a solution.

in the same boat, I researched this last summer. Turns out that light colored windows, if painted dark, could absorb enough additional heat from the sun to warp the windows and affect their fit and performance.

so there are two possibilities here, or three if you count leaving them alone. You can paint them a light color. Use the Zinsser primer that's good for plastics, and use any good quality (say that again: GOOD QUALITY! Cheaply made paint doesn’t cover, stick, or last like the good stuff. It just doesn’t.) light colored paint.

But if you really, really want a dark color, all is not lost. Both Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams manufacture paint specifically for vinyl siding, trim, or windows in a limited range of colors that includes some nice darks and brights. It’s formulated to reflect light so less heat builds up. You’ll have to special order it and it costs more. Your paint store person may not even realize it exists, but you can show them on the manufacturer website. Worth it not to have to replace those windows.

Pretty please with a cherry on top: For those of you have have tried the above products, how have the surfaces held up over time? And over what length of time? I have white melamine/vinyl clad kitchen cabinets and they are aging poorly as far as color goes. wabbithole@gmail.com
