Composite door and painted window frames.

Sand it down (to flatten and key the existing paint, not to remove it), then paint it black. Ask on the decorating forum about any special paint or primers for composite.

Its a side door that I want to paint gloss black in the end to go with a new Composite front door. Any readily available primers about. It would be a small tin I would need to get it in not industrial sized drum ! Thanks for any info.

Hi all. I'm planning a garden room/office which will be situated towards the corner of the outdoor space. It's a SIPs build with HouseWrap and battens as you'd expect. The front and right side elevations will be visible and clad with composite interlocked cladding, but the left and back won't be...

Hi all, I’m wanting to know if this is a sill and if it can be repaired? I have tried wood filler and painted it, but the paint always seems to peel. Using Rustins external black gloss. If not, I think this is a composite type, can I replace with timber or would it need to be composite...

Hi all Searched a bit on here and found some mixed thoughts on value vs benefit, so wondered what the general consensus is these days. Moved in here in June, decking was already an absolute mess. Clearly did it themselves, as the cuts and joins are god-awful, with some dire "patch-up" jobs...

We have an ugly old uPVC front door that we want to replace. The outside measurement of the frame is 1m wide, so it's probably too wide to get an off-the-shelf door. Looks like we'll probably have to have it specially made. Ideally we'd like to paint the door so we can choose the exact colour...

Cheapest method then will probably be a wood door fitted by a carpenter into the existing frame with the usual sanding and painting maintenance required or you could go PVC/Composite. I would recommend composite as they are more solid and look much nicer IMO.

I have followed your link and the first result reveals something with a wood texture, saying it's a composite door Mine isn't the same, is it?

We had a new composite door fitted by someone that lives in the next street as he gave us the cheapest quote and advise that he would fit the exact door I pointed out from a borcure. We ordered a white door. He came to fit it and advised that he'd ordered black in error and asked if we wanted...

I am considering options to finish a newly felted roof terrace approx 7 sqm. I like the idea of (grey) composite decking but it is very very expensive especially when adding in its hidden fixings etc Wondering what those here think about the idea of painting new decking? Wickes are doing 4 for...

hi Robbie there is a small dent that has gone through composite front is there anything you would recommend to fill and sand then paint?

I would go for Composite. Depends on how much you want to spend and if you want to have to paint it every few years.

Thank you for your prompt response! I have just googled "composite" and I most composite doors that I saw in my brief search had UPVC cover. Mine, however, appears to reveal metal of some sort in places where the paint is coming off. I took a magnet and it sticks to both inside and outside of...

Are GRP doors sprayed or is the GRP layed coloured, as I was lead to believe? I ordered a white grp composite door for my porch, expecting a hardwearing white coloured GRP surface on it. As I opened the door to fit it once in place, I noticed small chips where the door had struck the lock...

I'm about to fit a new composite "Maia" worktop in a utility area I've just created in my cellar. I'm going for the "industrial" look with lots of exposed (but painted) brick etc. Unfortunately, the wall it's going against meanders by about +_1.5cm along the length. The question is, do I...

I would like to use Farrow & Ball exterior eggshell paint but the colour is just slightly different to what I need. It just needs a little bit of black to darken the colour slightly. With F&B being expensive I don't want to spend the extra on F&B exterior eggshell black. The 100ml tester pots...

Hi, i have a building which i believe has a "composite" type sandstone, in a rose pink colour. Some of these bricks ( approx 18"x10") have become what appears to be blown. Whats the best method of repairing them, i have been told to render them back to a good finish and sort the pointing using a...

We've just had composite doors fitted in RAL 7016 and I was considering painting our uPVC Windows to match. I'll be watching this with interest as the results so far look really good. Are you brush painting or using a compressor?

Sorry I was wrong about the door - it's composite, rather than UPVC. I will probably use a brush. Would the Zinsser paint still be a good choice?
