I'm painting plastic windowframes again!
Last year, i bought a pot of this stuff, applied that and then painted after it dried
It worked fantastically, and i still have half of it left. Very happy with the product
Now i need to do a double window, so the half left won't be enough, need another full pot.
Unfortunately it seems they have jacked up the price by 50% since last year, and i am not happy with that!
I have attempted to paint directly on the plastic without primer, the paint rubs off. Even if i sand the surface to roughen it up, paint won't stick. Primer is absolutely necessary here
Can anyone recommend cheaper alternatives that might do the job? Or am i stuck paying £24 a litre for it?
