Moreover, how do you paint interior window sills?
- Lay down a drop cloth in front of the window, and remove as much of the old paint as you can with a scraper.
- Fill in any holes with spackle, and allow it to dry completely.
- Sand the patched areas smooth so they are flush with the rest of the sill, and sand the windowsill and the window frame to prepare for painting.
Beside above, can you paint a plastic window sill? Insects can‘t damage the plastic, and rot will never be an issue. It isn’t necessary to prime an interior PVC window sill before you paint because paint adheres better to PVC than wood. Although the installation cost of PVC is higher than wood, the many benefits of the product may outweigh the cost.
Accordingly, how do you paint a wood window sill white?

- Use painter’s tape to protect the nearby window frame.
- Apply a stain-blocking primer to the wood window sill using a paintbrush.
What is the best paint to use on window sills?
Gloss or semi–gloss acrylic or latex enamel paints are perfect, as they level out into a smooth, professional-looking surface. Once the paint has dried, apply a second coat if necessary. Remove the painter’s tape and enjoy your good-as-new window sill!
