Can clear Polycarbonate Plastic Roof Panels be Painted? Yes, clear polycarbonate plastic roof panels can be painted, but it requires special care to ensure proper adhesion and durability. First, clean the surface thoroughly to remove dirt, grease, and debris. Use a primer designed for plastic or polycarbonate surfaces to improve paint adhesion. Select a paint that is suitable for plastic and offers UV protection, as polycarbonate is prone to yellowing over time. Applying multiple thin coats rather than one thick layer will yield better results. Be sure to allow proper curing time between coats. Keep in mind that the transparency of the panels may be reduced after painting, and it might affect light transmission.
