Can PVCu bargeboard be painted?

Coldwater
5 years ago
We have rosewood bargeboards which we would like to replace. They look horrible against our PVCu white windows. They're in good condition though so could they be painted rather than replaced to save money? Does anyone have experience of this?

    I have used this product on exterior pvc window frames, with outstanding results: http://www.zinsseruk.com/product/allcoat-exterior/
    It can go straight on to pvc with no primer required (just a wipe down with methylated spirit), and you won't need more than 2 coats.
    I painted my window frames 3 years ago and they are still as good now as the day I did them.
    This product is also available tinted to any colour, if you have a particular colour that you want to paint your bargeboards. Just ask at your local paint shop.

    Nate thank you so much for the info, we have a single upvc window frame that doesn't match the rest of the house's wooden window frames which are a RAL colour, This will be ideal for us!
