    It's a matter of getting the paint to stick. Google Sandtex PVC-U primer.

    Clean the frames down with a rag and some white spirit.

    Give them a coat of BIN primer.

    Then a coat of undercoat

    Then finish with two coats of gloss.

    Yes.

    Isn't there a company that does this too?
    I often see a poster around Dublin with the slogan"why change your windows, let us paint them" or something along those lines.
