Painting Vinyl, Aluminum Siding, Metal, or Plastics Painting

Metal Surfaces (Ferrous Type)

If you have outdoor structures made of metal or other ferrous materials (such as railings and iron fences), these sorts of things require periodic maintenance to help them survive for many years. If you want these ferrous parts of your property to be protected from wear, tear, elements, and rust, then using inhibiting primers and paints is the best method for keeping them safe.

Metal/Aluminum Siding Paint

If you’re not one of the lucky ones who have siding made from vinyl, that’s all right! Aluminum siding is still easy to paint, and it has been painted for many years. If you have siding that has faded colouring over the years or you simply just prefer another colour, then you can easily get a new lease on life for your siding with a new coat of paint.

Some aluminum can have oxidization which may be removed with light sand followed by a multi-prime primer coat. Oxidization is rare but can happen but in most cases, the painting of aluminum siding is a simple and easy process.

Here at Elite Trade Painting in Ottawa, we will determine the best products for your aluminum siding to ensure that they will last for years to come.

Steel Siding Painting: What to Know

If your siding is made from steel instead of aluminum, it will be more prone to rust.

This will also make your building it look new again and be protected from the elements. Here at Elite Painting in Ottawa, we will run through all the possible paints and primers that might be best for your steel siding.

For inset windows, many of them come in a white colouring that many clients don’t enjoy. These vinyl or plastic inset windows along with other plastic surfaces can also be painted. Painting these harder vinyl and plastic surfaces is less limiting in colour and clients do not necessarily need to choose vinyl safe colours. It is always a good idea for a client to verify with the manufacturer of the item being painted to see if the surface is paintable and if it is requiring a primer prior to paint application. Many vinyl and plastic windows and other surfaces will require a primer.
