Question Exterior Window Frame Wrap

[De.signs Nanaimo]

I have a request to wrap some white exterior vinyl window frames with black vinyl, my gut is saying no but I thought I would put out a feeler and see if anyone has experience with this.

The problems I see are 1) cleaning, corners and etc filled with dust and dirt so possible failure point/time consumption issue 2) black vinyl absorbing heat, possible failure point or warping 3) funky frames like sliding doors etc. that would be a pain to wrap.

I'd mask 'em with transfer tape and degrease then spray them with Krylon fusion. It's formulated to adhere to vinyl and it will make touching up down the road easy. At night I can see Nanaimo from here.

hmm, that sounds complicated, do you mean spray paint them, don't wrap them?

And shout out to Pender Harbour, I used to spend time at Hardy island when I was a kid!

This would be an easy NO in my book and would come waaay before thinking about how to do it.

Yes I agree, not worth the hassle even quoting on it, thanks for the input guys!

I happened to go to Target one day, in the middle of a renovation. I was amazed to see a crew of about 8 guys wrapping the front entrance frames around all the glass...

All that silver is wrapped....

We wrapped an entire government tourism building in vinyl, all the door, window frames and a corrugated roof. What a PITA. I didn't want to touch it but our sales rep sold it so we were committed. Took weeks and we couldn't do the roof past around 11-12 in the morning because it got so damn hot.

Never again (I hope)

I have wrapped window frames before, but made from aluminium on a store front, so it has stuck quite well so far, it made it through last winter just fine!
