PVC Painting and Finishing
Need to learn how to paint and finish your PVC column? Here’s how you do it:
- Caulk where required using the Oatey brand PVC cement provided by HB&G
- Putty any holes using acrylic putty or caulk
- Lightly sand or scuff the surface of the column
- Clean the surface of the column to remove any dirt or hand oil residue with light detergent and water, denatured alcohol, or window cleaner
- Be sure to remove soap residue with clean water and allow to completely dry
- Apply one coat of 100% acrylic exterior bonding primer and one or more finish coats of 100% acrylic exterior paint
We do not recommend that you paint PermaWrap® columns using dark colors. Dark colors are considered any color that falls within the L-value of 55 to 0. L is a measure of the lightness of an object and ranges from 0 (black) to 100 (white). The paint manufacturer can give you the L-value of your paint choice or advise you with options for solar-reflective coatings that can allow for darker colors to be used.
