So far the shutters look great. However, I have two recommendations. First, warn customers that not all colors work with vinyl. We picked a dark blue for our paintable shutters but were advised at paint store that the finish won’t last. I guess dark colors accentuate the shutter expansion in sunlight. We went ahead anyway but it’s a time bomb. You should have stated this on your website. Second, tell us how to pull out the spikes. When you paint your house you normally take the shutters off. I don’t think that will be possible with the spike fastening system. So happy now but maybe not later.
