Content: 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. Test to see if the paint is adhering to the primer by placing a piece of painter’s tape on it. Peel it of after a few minutes. If paint comes off, you’ll need to sand and rinse the surface before painting. Apply one coat and let it dry overnight. Check the coat and apply a second coat if needed.
