5:43
There’s perhaps no better and more affordable way to add interest to your home’s exterior than by giving it a fresh new coat of paint. Whether it’s time to try a new color, or apply a fresh coat of the same, an exterior painting project will help protect your home’s siding and trim from the elements. In this video, we’ll show you the basics of priming, caulking and painting your home’s exterior siding. Tools
Synthetic Bristle Brush
Exterior Primer
Exterior Paint
Mini-Roller
Roller Cover
Drop Cloth
Caulk
Caulk Gun
5-Gallon Bucket
Paint Mixing Paddle
Cordless Drill
Blue Painter's Tape
Steps
Place a drop cloth below where you will be painting to protect surfaces, plants, etc. Apply the primer to the surface using either a paint brush, a roller or a sprayer. If using a latex primer, make sure it is between 50-degres and 90-degrees Fahrenheit. Allow the primer to dry. Use a quality exterior caulk to seal cracks and gaps in the siding, and between siding and trim. If you have more than one can of paint, combine them into one bucket for color consistency. Paint a small area and dry overnight.
