In short: Painter Mauro Henrique demonstrates the essential steps for cleaning and painting vinyl shutters. This guide covers everything from creating a numbering template to the final touch-ups, ensuring a durable and even result.

The process begins with organization: remove the shutters and use a numbered template to track their original positions. Once cleaned with a garden hose and detergent, the shutters must be dried and laid on a drop cloth.

For the finish, use a paint sprayer, ensuring each pass overlaps by 50% to achieve even coverage. After applying two coats and allowing them to dry, use a brush to touch up any visible screw heads.
