- • Can I paint over bronze coloured aluminium windows and doors with white gloss?
- • We have replaced some of our aluminium windows with double glazed PVC ones to help keep out the traffic noise and I would like to know if we can do something with the remaining aluminium ones that will allow us match them up with the PVC ones that are white? We could not afford to replace all the windows at this time, but the noise was awful and we had to do something about it. Now we have aluminium and white colours that don’t look right. I want to know if there is any way we can change the colour of the aluminium to match the white?
- • Can I paint a uPVC door and frame which has a grained wood effect?
- • What do I do with my shiny surface, white interior doors? I have a number of white interior doors in my home which have a shiny surface, and appear to me to have a plastic coating. I do not know if they are laminated or not. They were fitted when my house was built about 5 years ago. They now need some attention, but I have been advised not to paint them on account of the coating on them. Any advice as to whether this is true or not, and if so, is there some other means of cleaning them?
- • I was hoping to change the colour of my uPVC windows and doors, but don’t know how to go about it?
- • I have foil wrapped kitchen doors. Is it possible to successfully paint them, if so, can you please advise?
- • I hope you can help me with my problem. I have four smoke glass mirrors floor to ceiling. I have found it impossible to keep them clean. The room is south facing and when the sun shines in, the smears and streaks appear all over the mirrors. I have used every product on the market for the purpose of cleaning glass and mirrors and none of them have worked for me. Hot water and vinegar and newspaper were also useless. I would consider covering the mirrors with sheets of narrow plywood if there was a way of attaching them to the mirrors which act as sliding doors?
- • Is it possible to paint over varnished and stained French doors (indoor) Will gloss paint dry on them with an undercoat?
- • My old pine look kitchen units are looking very tired and I would like to brighten them up. Can I paint them?
- • I have two cane armchairs plus two matching footstools. There were painted green when we bought them some years ago. As they are very good quality and were quite expensive it would be out of the question to discard them. Could you please tell me if I could have them sprayed professionally to another colour - preferably something brown or is there some easy way I could do it myself?
- • I would like to paint the old tiles in my bathroom because they are up a long time and I’m fed up looking at them. I heard there is some way you can paint tiles and I would rather not have to go to the trouble and expense of putting in new tiles?
- • We are moving to a new house that we’ve decided to paint ourselves, and are wondering if the new plaster on the walls and ceilings should be given a coat of primer or is there any products that you recommend for this. The house is 1,080 sq feet, 3 Bed. Would you have an estimate or a guide as to the amount of paint needed for the whole house?
- • We just moved into an old house which I’m told has distempered walls, what is the best way to re- paint them with the least amount of trouble?
- • The inside walls of our old summer house in Wexford, seem to bubble out and burst, and on other walls the plaster is being eaten away and flaking off in patches. The house has been checked for water leaks but none found, some people say the problem is caused by sea sand used in initial construction. Would you know of any ways to deal with the problem?
- • My problem is that paint always peels off the ceiling in a particular room only a couple of months after re-painting it. There is no dampness but yet it just flakes off, can you help?
