How to fix external window seals?

msrenovator

Hi I have this window but it seems I’m missing some rubber in that gap. Does anyone know what it is called so I can replace. The front of the house has something similar but it has a black rubber looking thing. Also what paint should I use to touch up on these frames? They were originally dark brown

Hello @msrenovator 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your window frames.

I suggest having a quick look at this discussion regarding painting your window frame - How to clean or paint my window frames? by @lisha. You'll find a good explanation of how to paint your window frames. The general steps would be to clean your frames and prepare its surface for painting. It's then masked over to prevent the glass and other parts of the building from being overpainted.

In regards to the seal, would it be possible for you post a photo of the old seal itself at the front as you mentioned. Once we see this seal, we'll have a better idea of what it looks like and see if there is anything similar to it at the store. 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
