Me too!!

That’s awesome! Do you mind sharing….how do you paint the white vinyl ??? No primer?? We live near Portland on WA side ;)

How did it go??

Thanks Beau

Hello! We used Regal Select Exterior in Low Luster and it is self priming.

@@TribblePaintingCompanycan you explain?. It looks like you just used the black paint called sea on the bricks.

Is that the same paint on the window frames? Are they pvc?

Hello! We used Regal Select Exterior in Low Luster.

Since no one responded I’m assuming that indeed, there is no new paint or technique I’m unaware to do this. Of course most anything can practically be painted over and look ok for a month or two - but can paint over VINYL windows actually last? If so, how? Also, any thoughts about painting metal windows? IF painting vinyl IS possible what are the limitations (like only paint on picture windows but not ones that open close or slide? Does it only work well in mild climates without much whether variability or sun shining on them? Any special coatings or other maintenance that COULD be done to actually keep the look, otherwise it degrades / flakes / chips off….etc?? ). Seriously I would LOVE to know the products and techniques to use but maybe this is proprietary information 😂 If it isn’t something that can maintained than it shouldn’t be painted on the windows - for example if the owner of the house only wanted black because it would look more current and fake out potential buyers unknowingly then it’s probably not a good idea to paint it but have them either figure out a way to make the look work in another way or suggest they replace the windows to black if they must be black. Believe me I really wanted all black windows everywhere but I was told it won’t last and will like bad quickly: but that was also 5-6 years ago so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Good question. I've always heard vinyl windows (and siding) should be painted with something like Sherwin Williams Vinyl Safe.

What’s the value if they absolutely love it?

They would have to move. It can't go back, one of the reasons I'm not a big fan of painted brick.

You are right they just ruined that brick. black mineral stain could have been applied the same way and last decades and wont fad.

Thanks for watching! Todd talks about that in our How to Paint & Maintain Your Brick Home video:ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qDDu7b5wq10.htmlsi=dZrqbXlQCtm0FwKl

In hot weather with those dark colors, start early and follow the shade around the house....

Hello, We back roll to make sure the paint is worked into all of the nooks and crannies of the brick.

Hello, Thank you for watching. We used an Exterior Low Lustre finish.

Wouldn't it reflect the heat?

It’s a brick house so it has much better insulation properties than a traditional house

@@NathanielCruz. Black absorbs heat. White would reflect it

Hello, It is Silent Sea 0515

We used a low lustre finish.

Not so much! Yes, brick is beautiful but it, like everything else in life, can become boring. They didn't ruin the house in this video - they changed it and they love it, as they should bc it looks absolutely gorgeous!!

Hi Judy, Thank you for watching! Unlike with wood sided homes, brick does not need to be painted to maintain the integrating of the siding. Some people hate how their brick siding looks and painting can be an options to change the look. Others love the low maintenance of brick and don't want to paint it. It is all about personal preference with brick.

Thank you for watching! The previous owner actually designed and built the house himself.

@@TribblePaintingCompany oops hahaha
