Hello Lab Man
Vinyl window , painted factory exterior .
Home stuccoed after windoews installed .
Painters tape and plastic used to protect windows .
Tape peeled paint off .
Contractor said they used red prep tape ?

What do you think.
Stucco guy or window guy ?

What exactly is your question? What brand window did the owner have installed?

Sorry about that .
Who ownes the peel off?
Stucco guy/ tape or factory paint job
Gentek windows

It won't be Gentech, they do not warranty the finish. Which tape was used like Scotch blue painters tape, Frog tape, etc... I am already leaning toward the stucco guy.

Never heard of painted vinyl windows. Always thought the color was the color embedded in the vinyl. I believe there is a vinyl paint but requires a special paint process. Regular paint will not stick to vinyl.

As HKS notes, have never seen a "factory" painted vinyl window. If you do attempt to paint vinyl, you need to use a surface prep and a special flexible paint, similar to paint used on car bumper covers.
