Painting Siding

Painting vinyl siding is advised against. Vinyl is a material that expands and contrast causing paint to crack and chip off. For best results, it is recommended to have your vinyl siding replaced. Today’s vinyl is more durable, with lasting appeal.

When it comes to worn out aluminum siding, paint is a cost effective means to creating a fresh new look for your exterior. Homeowners can choose from a wide range of colors to create a lasting finish. However, there is a certain amount of surface preparation needed for aluminum siding to be painted.

Due to aluminum's baked enamel finish, it is required that it be scuffed and sanded before being painted. Also, older aluminum will most likely have a chalky build up that needs to be removed as well.

In addition, aluminum will need to be primed. It is suggested that you use an etching primer for this purpose. This type of primer does cost more then regular primer, but it can be found at nearly all paint stores. Once you have primed your aluminum siding, be sure to use a top-quality, 100 percent acrylic latex exterior house paint.
