Hi,

Does anyone have any experience using paint / plasti dip / foil tape to change the exterior colour of UPVC windows ?

My latest project has white UPVC windows that are only 5 years old but I'm adding an extension and rendering the house and would like to order grey exterior windows for the extension but I'd rather avoid changing the existing bays baring in mind there's not much wrong with them except the colour.

The Plastidip appeals as I'm happy spraying and the ease of removing overspray - I wonder about it's longevity particularly where windows close onto it.

I hadn't thought about the silicon.

Thankfully they are internally glazed.

But if I can't get away with plasti dip it's going to be quite a job.

I think the suggestion of trying one window is a good one - BUT I have to order the new windows asap and the question is what colour to order as I want grey but I can't afford to change the old ones and once the new ones are fitted, I'm committed.
