How to paint vinyl siding

4 . Apply the paint . Using a roller or brush , begin by painting inside corners and around trim . Next , move onto the walls . For best results , allow the paint to dry as directed by the manufacturer , and then apply a second coat .
Depending on the color and condition of your siding , you may need to apply a primer before painting . Don ’ t hesitate to ask your local paint specialist for advice . n

One easy and affordable way to refresh your home ’ s exterior is to paint your siding . If you have vinyl siding , however , there are specific steps you ’ ll need to follow . Here ’ s what you ’ ll need to do .

1 . Choose the right paint . Use a 100 % acrylic paint . It offers superior adhesion , is easy to apply and provides long-lasting results .
2 . Clean the siding . Before painting it , make sure the surface is extremely clean . This will improve adhesion and help provide an even finish . Use a damp cloth or a hose to remove any dirt and debris . To avoid damaging the siding , make sure you don ’ t use steel wool , a wire brush or anything abrasive .
3 . Prepare the area . Remove shutters and exterior decorations , cut back bushes and trees that might get in the way and cover up anything you don ’ t want to get paint on ( doors , windows , trim , hardware , etc .).
