UPVC spray coating?

[lurchermummy]

We have a 1980s house that looks exactly like No 4 Privet Drive. We hate the brown UPVC windows and would like to change the colour of them but they are quite new and not in bad condition (insides are white). Has anyone had their UPVC sprayed? How was the finish and was it expensive?

Would it put you off in all the houses in a road were a different colour? We're in a close and all the houses have brown windows.

My first concern is that white windows on a house like that would look incongruous - it's almost like you'd have to change the colour of the bricks as well to make it look right.

I used to live in a street of similar houses and no-one (including me) dared to change their windows to white ones. Although many did get rid of the diamond pattern leaded things that were fitted originally.

paint them! much cheaper -

Thanks I was thinking of a colour - maybe a pale olive green - the house itself is Cotswold stone. Do you think that painting them would work? I'd have to pay someone to paint them as I don't have time/skills.

One of my friends had her brown UPVC windows sprayed. I thought she'd had new windows put in, could not tell they had been sprayed. Made such a difference. She had them sprayed a cream/off-white colour which works well with her little stone cottage. I don't know how much it cost though.

I think a pale olive green would look lovely.

Painting them definitely works, I did my own after reading that article I posted. You should get some quotes from a handyman as well as painters though, should be 1/3 of the price and is very easy to do.

pale olive green on Cotswold stone would look lovely I think.

@mistahclarke thanks I will look into that

what Would put me of is spraying window frames is relatively new
they’ll look great at first but how long will they last looking good
