Q:Can these be painted?
by|Feb 3, 2021
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Thanks for reaching out. Yes, the unfinished shutters are meant to be painted. For best results, prime the product thoroughly to achieve a smooth, consistent, paint-ready surface. The carved areas may require additional prime coats. Once priming is finished, paint the product with a good quality, vinyl safe 100% acrylic latex paint. If painting the product a dark color, colors that have an LVR rating of 54 or lower, use paints with heat reflective characteristics specifically formulated for use on vinyl or PVC products. Hope this helps!

              Q:We order these shudders. There was no hardware provided. Why no hardware to mount was provided. Also, if we drill into the boards, there is no cap to cover the nail holes? These are very heavy, thus need to be properly supported.
