How to paint an air-conditioner inverter?

Hi, I’d like to paint the outdoor air conditioner, same colour as the wall (basalt).

 it’s a Daikin VRV iv inverter R410A

Re: Painting an outdoor air-conditioner

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @sambisla. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about painting an air conditioner.

The first thing to do would be to contact the manufacturer to ask whether painting their unit is something they can't see an issue with as there could be safety implications. At face value, I can't see an issue with it, but you never know.

 

It's a powedercoated steel, so likely could be treated similar to painted Colorbond steel. That normally involved scuffing up the surface with a Scotchbright pad and then priming with Rustguard True Bite. You'd then be able to use the Rustguard range of enamel paint to coat the unit. They can be tinted to a range of different colours.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
