    I borrowed a really powerful power washer recently and managed to lift some of the white pvc coating from one of the doors. Is there anything I could touch it up with or repair it with. Door is perfect functionally, just a non white patch that looks terrible.

    Any suggestions appreciated!

    Can you put up some photos as PVC should not lift the way you are describing

    Would have thought that was the case alright, but unfortunately it has, whatever caused it. I'm blaming the power washer thought, it was an animal of a thing.

    I just want to touch it up for now until I can afford to replace it

    Ah ok it's not PVC it is aluminum.all you have done is remove the paint. Get some white paint and maybe a primer and just touch it up.

    Euro Giant were selling Cans of spray paint the other Day when I was in there, They had White. You would be best to use a Primer first. just Tape uo your Glass first so as you don't give yourself a job of cleaning it off the Glass.

    sand it, fill it and get a can of Rust-oleum All in One Universal paint. This is both a primer and paint . Apply with a short pile mohair roller. ( Spray would give the best finish but the mohair roller will give the next best thing)
