You’ve probably noticed that some homes have windows that are a different color than the rest of the house. The most common type of window is called UPVC, or vinyl-plastic, and they are often lighter in color than other materials like wood or aluminum. This blog post will tell you how to spray paint your windows so they match your home.
Materials: Plastic sheeting, masking tape, replacement window glass, trim painter’s tape, latex-free paint, paint brush
Step 1: Seal up any cracks and any areas where you don’t want paint to go with plastic sheeting and masking tape.
Step 2: Cover the exterior of the windows with trim painter’s tape to protect it from overspray. You can do this by taping off sections or using a band of painter’s tape wrapped around the circumference of each window.
Step 3: Apply a thin layer of latex-free
What should you know before spray painting your windows?
Spray painting your windows is a great way to match the color of your home, but you should know that it can have some drawbacks. For example, latex-free paint is not as durable as oil-based paint. So, if you live in an area where there’s a lot of harsh weather, like cold winters and hot summers, then spray painting might not be the best option for you.
The other consideration before spray painting your windows is that it could affect the insulation properties. If you live in an area where winters are cold and summers are hot, then this could be a major issue because the UPVC window will allow more heat to escape from your home than it would if it were painted with oil-based paint. However, if you don’t mind spending some money replacing your windows every few years or so when they get too brittle or start cracking, then go ahead and let dry completely (this could take up to 24 hours).
How to use the materials
The materials you will need are plastic sheeting, masking tape, replacement window glass, trim painter’s tape, latex-free paint and a paint brush.
- Seal up any cracks and any areas where you don’t want paint to go with plastic sheeting and masking tape.

How to protect your home from overspray
Some people will use a brush to apply the paint, but this can be risky for two reasons. One is that it generally takes more time than spraying, and another is that there’s a greater chance of overspray. Overspray can ruin your siding or landscaping, so it’s important to take steps to protect your home.
Step 4: Spray paint in an area with good ventilation. You don’t want to spray indoors or in a small space where you can’t get fresh air.
Step 5: Take care to cover up any areas where you don’t want paint to go with plastic sheeting or painter’s tape like cracks or windowsills.
Step 6: Enjoy your new windows!
