Guide to painting PVC doors and window frames

PVC doors and window frames need very clean edges, careful masking and a finish that can be applied neatly around profiles, seals and glazing. Mipa VC 250-30 gives this method a brush, roller or spray finish for PVC surfaces after cleaning and controlled preparation.

What do you need to paint PVC doors and window frames?

Cleaning and degreasing

Mipa silicone remover liquid or spray removes wax, oil, grease and silicone from PVC before keying and coating. Clean corners and lower frame edges especially carefully.

Fine surface key

MP Non-woven Sanding Pad Very Fine red dulls glossy PVC and helps create a controlled key around profiles, corners and frame rebates.

Adhesion support for plastic details

Mipa 1K Plastic Primer in tin or spray format can be used on prepared plastic areas where an adhesion bridge is wanted before the finish layer.

Main PVC finish

Mipa VC 250-30 is a thixotropic high-build satin matt single coat paint based on PVC for brush, roller and spray application directly on PVC and other suitable substrates.

Colour group choice

Mipa VC 250-30 is supplied in price group I, II and III colour ranges, allowing the finish to be matched to the chosen project colour within the available Mipa industry system.

How to paint PVC doors and window frames

  1. 1
    Clean the frame thoroughly

    Remove dirt, old residues and edge contamination from PVC profiles. Dry the frame fully before using silicone remover.

  2. 2
    Mask glass, seals and hardware

    Mask glazing, rubber seals, hinges, locks, drainage slots and moving contact points so the coating does not bridge or block them.

  3. 3
    Lightly key glossy PVC

    Use the red non-woven sanding pad to create an even dull surface. Remove dust before coating, especially in frame corners and grooves.

  4. 4
    Prime small risk areas when needed

    Apply Mipa 1K Plastic Primer to prepared plastic details where an adhesion bridge is useful. Keep the film thin around tight profile edges.

  5. 5
    Apply VC 250-30 neatly

    Apply Mipa VC 250-30 by brush, roller or spray in controlled coats. Keep opening edges clean and allow proper drying before closing the door or window.

Which PVC door or window coating choice should you make?

Brush or roller work

Choose Mipa VC 250-30 when the frame is being coated in place and careful brush or roller control is more practical than spraying.

Spray finish work

Choose spray application when the frame or removable panel can be masked fully and an even finish across profiles is the priority.

Colour range planning

Choose the correct VC 250-30 price group before starting so repaired panels, doors and window frames use one consistent colour plan.
