    Hi Michael thanks for reply, what do you mean by BIN prime it. Is this name of primer. Should I sand it to help paint to attach to it

    BIN primer is made by Zinsser, its a speciality primer for PVCs and the like.

    I wouldn't sand the door as you might scratch it, but you could give it a rub of a green scotch pad just to give you some extra key.

    But that BIN primer is excellent, shouldn't have any adhesion problems, as long as the surface is clean and dry before painting.

    Hi Michael I got this tread from you about 1 month ago and didn't get to paint PVC door yet. I was going to buy BIN primer today but I saw on label that it is for internal use. Its the outside of door I want to paint. The woman in shop also recommended ESP. I would appreciate your advice. Thanking You

    Ya, you can use ESP first. Its just an etch primer. It'll give an extra key between the door and the first coat of paint.

    Wipe it all down with a rag and esp. I think you need to wipe it off with a dry cloth after half an hour or so.

    Then give it a coat of BIN Primer.

    I done the outside of my PVC windows and front door, fascia and soffit almost 6-7 years ago.

    One coat of bin, and two coats of gloss. There still perfect. Except the paint has faded in colour.

    There has been no peeling or cracking.

    But are you saying if I just use BIN and forget about ESP, I should be ok anyway. I was just a bit worried when I saw for internal use on can

    but are you saying using BIN would be enough I was worried when I saw for internal use on can. The guy in shop said they have other primer 123 which is for external and is way cheaper. Have you any experience of it

    123 is water based, but can be used on Upvc. I haven't used it on PVC so I can't say how good it is.

    I would go with the BIN primer myself, as I have proven results from it!

    You wouldn't know my windows are painted, that's how well its held up, and that's on the side of the house exposed to the weather!
