Paint for plastic gutters and downpipes.

Things to consider before painting plastic. You will need to do a health check of the plastic that you re painting. Dont use abrasives to clean it will show through something wicked. Would the life of all this plastic be prolonged if painted and is there a special paint for the job.

Replace any leaky gaskets and joiners on guttering and fix or replace any faulty furniture on plastic doors and windows. Oil based paint works very well on plastic and does not require a primer. I have never yet experienced a one coat paint where only one coat necessary and this paint is no exception. We had an extension built and now have exposed white plastic windows and waste pipes a brown pipe going into the drain a grey plastic soil stack and black plastic gutters and down pipes.

Inspect your work as you go for runs and drips. The roller makes the job go much faster and produces a smooth finish. Am very impressed with the result. Rated 5 out of 5 by john96 from impressed used this on previously painted brown plastic guttering.

The condition of the plastic. To make matters worse if you don t do the job right you will probably find that you need to re paint your gutters and downpipes long before you have to paint your house again. The two common things some people get wrong when painting gutters is choosing the wrong type of paint and not preparing the surface properly before painting. Apply the paint with a brush and a small 4 to 5 inch roller.

Clean allow to dry and a couple of coats of gloss. The gutters look like new.
