Tired and faded siding can be rejuvenated with two coats of a top-quality acrylic coating. In some cases, an all-purpose metal primer may be necessary if oxidization of the metal has occurred. Your Elite estimator will recommend the best paints and primers for your aluminum siding.&#8221;]Durable Coatings for Faded Aluminum and Metal Surfaces[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;198092&#8243; subheading=&#8221;Steel siding is like aluminum except that it can rust. A metal primer will be applied to take care of any rust and oxidization that is present and your metal siding can be made to look new again with two coats of top-quality acrylic coating.

Using the proper preparation techniques, paints and primers allows us to paint most surfaces. Painting of plastics can be a little tricky but with proper etching and primer coating, most plastic surfaces can be painted. For any questionable surfaces, your estimator will use adhesion test primers.<\/p>\n<p>A common request for us is painting vinyl insert windows. A common occurrence is a stark white insert that does not work with the client\u2019s desired look of the home. Starting with a light fine-grit sanding to insure adhesion, we can paint these with much the same process as vinyl siding; wash, and two coats of acrylic.&#8221; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221; text_color_solid=&#8221;#ff0000&#8243;]Yes, We Can Paint Plastic and Vinyl Surfaces![\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;606925&#8243; subheading=&#8221;There are very few restrictions on the choice of colour for metal, aluminum, and vinyl surfaces.
