Painting pvc windows

Curly head · 2020-04-30 05:27:07

Hello all Anyone know if it’s a good idea to paint pvc windows that are about 25 years old n as a result look faded. They are in fairly good shape otherwise. Thanks

If you want to get them painted and look any way decent you should look at getting a professional company in to spray them properly.
