Fiamma awning

[chas]

Hi- My Fiamma roll out awnings plastic end caps have become discoloured with age.

 

The polar white metal casing is as bright as when new, so I intend to mask round the caps and paint them, and was wondering which type of paint would be the best.

 

I was thinking of using smooth white Hammerite as it drys quickly, but I would not want any paint to react with plastic ,or for that matter start peeling off later on.

 

Anyone performed such a task,and what paint did you use ?

 

Thanks for any suggestions.

Have you thought of buying a couple of new ones?

 

There is always a chance they aren't still available for your particlular model if it is old/obsolete, but the price for current models is not particularly excessive.

 

If I recall correctly, they were not much over a tenner each.

Agree with Robinhood, much easier to replace them.
