Vinyl shutters - paint or replace?

Question

I have vinyl shutters that have faded. I was going to replace them, but was told there is a paint that can be used and to just do that. They do not appear to be cracked or anything - just a lot of sun exposure. House is almost 5yrs old.

Answer 1

We had the vinyl shutters on the house from the previous owner. We took them down, washed them with plain water, let dry and then spraypainted. We took them down 5 years later when we repainted the house. They were up there aover 15 years between the previous owner and ourselves. the house is in florida. so we do get a lot of heat and sun.

Answer 2

Painting Vinyl Shutters

Answer 3

there is a good paint for it. however ruff it up a little. If you can remove them form the house and spray the paint onto the shutters. You will find that it will chip and peel after a time. If you replace the shutter find a higher end vinyl. Sometimes you get what you pay for.

Answer 4

U can paint the indoor and the outdoor vinyl shutters with any plastic or acrylic paint after you rough the cleaned surface with delicate sand paper, or you can polish the interior ones with baby oil to give them fresher look without sanding and painting. I tried and liked both solutions. Good luck.

You can use paint on them. You will probably save money on paint. Buy a good brand of paint so you will not have to paint them as often.
