Awesome video. This shows all the incorrect answer's online and KZfaq. If you've ever tried to paint over silicone you've tried all of these. There's only 2 options caulk over the silicone which is the only band aid for this issue or removing the the silicone completely then redoing with paintable bathroom caulk is the cure..Silicone is a renovation nightmare and you'll see it around windows and in bathrooms.

Yes, silicone CAN be painted! I painted a red silicone stove pipe jack about 7 years ago and it is still sound. The trick is to use silicone caulk to paint silicone .You are limited to the colors you can find the caulk in. Thin the caulk with white gas to a brushable consistency and paint it on. Simple and it works. Al Fedor

I recently repainted a bathroom. After painting I wanted to recaulk around the top of the shower stall. Stupid me, I thought I had purchased a squeeze tube of white, paintable caulk. Turns out when I tried to touch it up with some paint, it doesn't adhere.so there are white spots on the gray newly painted wall. Can I just carefully spread latex caulk over those marks and repaint them?

I’ve thought the exact same thing with the UPVC windows being painted.... I can’t see any of them taking out all exterior silicone, to the spray the colour and then re do the sealant in a colour matched product. More time and mine money and less profit for them... I don’t even like the effect paint has over pure decorators caulk. The crazing it causes due to the flexibility of the caulk and the less flexibility of the paint.... I have often wondered if you used say a pollyfilla in a caulk gun that you can get from most places whether this is a similar formulation and has the same effect as caulk or not? Have you ever used it? Even using a tiny amount of caulk and leaving to dry for weeks on end you still get the crazing to some extent. Manufacturers should really dive deeper into this problem and come up with a better solution.
