Can I Paint My Vinyl Fence?
Sometimes for various reasons, homeowners decide to paint their vinyl fence, whether it’s just looking dingy or faded or they want to change the color to a more trendy or updated look. Either way, the question might not be, “Can you paint a vinyl fence?” but “Should you?”
You can paint over a vinyl fence, but you will have some negative consequences.
Considerations for painting a vinyl fence:
Vinyl fencing is made of durable material that withstands the elements and is low maintenance. You simply have it installed, wash it periodically with a hose, and enjoy it. However, If you choose to paint it, you virtually negate this benefit.
Vinyl is non-porous, so most paints won’t adhere to it properly. If you paint it, clean it immaculately first with a soap and water mixture, then use a primer. Use an epoxy-based acrylic paint which should adhere best to vinyl because latex and oil don’t contract and expand. However, you will still risk having it peel or damage the vinyl surface.
*Many times, once you have thoroughly cleaned your vinyl fence, it will sparkle like new, and you’ll reconsider having it painted.
Consider if your fence is under warranty. Painting the fence might void any manufacturer’s warranty still in effect due to the possibility of paint damaging the vinyl’s surface.
