Nice dude! I’m glad you’re finding the videos helpful and good luck at SW!! 🤙

Although not new materials, ive had success using a bonding primer to the existing Azek then applying the finish. Good stuff!

I’ve never had an issue getting product to bond to it. From what I understand the issue comes from the heat generated by the darker colors. The Azek will actually deform and twist if it heats up enough

Thank you for all the helpful information. In your past videos you used Sherwin Williams for the interior. Aside from using BM for exterior trim, what is your brand choice for an exterior concrete home.

We use Benjamin Moore’s Moorgaurd low Lustre for the larger surfaces on exteriors. Then we use the Moorglo soft-gloss for all the trim / doors / shutters.

Thanks for the great tips. Question... if Azek was never painted when originally installed the corners, caulk joints, etc. are now very dirty and don't clean up easy. Do you have to remove the old caulk or can you just paint right over it? Thanks.

As long as the caulk isn’t cracked out then you can just paint over it. If the caulking is cracking out and there’s gaps, then I’d recommend re-caulking those areas then running your top coats of paint.

Even if you use a good primer, the dark paint will still fail? That is weird. I never heard that for any other material, especially given that PVC is not supposed to expand and contract that much. Here in Arizona we have to use a couple of coats of primer when painting dark trim, especially with natural wood that expands and contracts so much, but not azek...interesting.

Apparently the PVC material can heat up to a point where it will start to contort and twist. I kinda want to try it on a sample to see what that looks like

Unrelated to this specific video but we just had our interior trim painted. This included our fireplace. They used a flat white. It now feels chalky and does not match the rest of the trim. My question is - can we go over it once or so with more of a semi glass?

@SuperVassarBrothers

Yes you can go over it with semi-gloss. Your trim paint should adhere to that with no issues but you’ll likely have to do 2 coats to get a uniform looking finish.

does azek come pre primed?

@SuperVassarBrothers

So it's not pre-primed but it functions as though it was. It's a PVC material that's ready to receive paint so you don't have to prime it before you start hitting it with your finish paint. At least that that has been the case with all the paints I've used on it.

@davidpiper304 yeah for good reason. The aura in my book is over priced even as a contractor . Most guys go with regal for insides , they have cheaper lines of exterior paints that work great. But most paint is around 35 to 55 per gal now because of joe biden
