No priming is necessary; however, the finish quality is greatly
enhanced if you use a premium 100% acrylic latex paint for
trim with a built in primer. In addition, a primer may be required
under the paint manufacturer’s warranty. Always follow the
paint manufacturer’s instructions. In preparation for painting,
we recommend product should be clean, dry, and free of
dirt, grease, and/or any other surface contaminants before
painting. Adhesion can be improved, and product should be
cleaned with a mild detergent or denatured alcohol and soft,
clean rag or bristle brush. Failure to adhere to manufacturer’s
recommended guidelines for application of painted surfaces
may void any paint manufacturer’s warranty.
Can you stain PVC mouldings?
Yes, but staining PVC mouldings takes a specialized base
coat AWP SPQT Stainable Primer Wood Base Coat for Hard
Surfaces. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. Note
that specialty applications such as this are not covered by our
warranty.
Can PVC be used as a structural component such
as framing?
PVC cannot be used as a structural product in load bearing
applications. PVC boards must always be supported by wood
or other structural materials.
