uPVC holes

[joec1985]

I am getting my uPVC doors sprayed however there are a number of holes on the frame (see image). I need to make good before spraying. Any advice on how to go about this? Some of the plastic is sticking out and needs to be flush (I assume) before filling I tried a stanley knife but that didn’t cut it (literally). Thanks in advance.

A small tub of car body filler?

Stanley blade held flat against the frame to cut anything that sticks up.

over lay with more trim.

Sand it back to flush with an abrasive paper, on a backing block, before filling - pushing the filler well into those holes, then sand again with some finer abrasive. The guy doing the spraying, if a specialist, might do this for you as part of the job.

This? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/292821441806 It's a suggestion, not a recommendation as I haven't used it myself.

Jesus Christ, or a hazmat suit and gas mask? Crikey, didn’t even notice that.

You'll be fine - they put all those warnings on, mostly to cover their back and prevent potential claims. If you were warned, their can be no claim.
