Yes, PVC is great for exterior use. PVC requires no painting for protection. However, to maintain color consistency for many years it may be recommended. PVC can be painted with 100% acrylic latex paint to achieve custom colors. (Scuff sanding will optimize paint adhesion, but is not required. A second coat may be needed to achieve desired color.) 100% acrylic paint with a light reflective value of 55 units or higher is recommended. If a darker color is desired (LRV 54 or lower), use only vinyl safe paints containing reflective pigments designed to reduce excessive heat gain (e.g. Sherwin Williams VinylSafe).
