How to Paint Exterior Trim and Wood Home Siding

A fresh coat of paint is the best way to make the outside of a home look better. Before painting, be sure to prep the exterior properly. Once it is prepped, you will be ready to go. For this project you will need: exterior pant, stir sticks, rollers, brushes, roller grid, a ladder and masking supplies. To figure out how much paint you will need visit https://www.Lowes.com/Calculators. For any outdoor project, use acrylic latex paint. It drys quickly, is resistant to fading and cleans well with water. When beginning to paint, work from side to side from the top down. Start by cutting in around the trim with a brush, and don't forget to paint the under part of the siding. Once a section is cut in, you can paint with the face with a roller. Work in sections, and do not stop in the middle. After every side of the house is painted, you can now paint the trim. Mask the windows and using a trim brush, paint from top to bottom in clean even strokes. If you need to stop mid project, it is important to properly store your paint and paint brushes. Using the roller grid, rid any excess paint from the roller. Cover the bucket of paint with the lid. Using plastic wrap, wrap the brushes and rollers and store in a shaded area. Once you are finished, be sure to check for any spots you may have missed and touch up. Clean your supplies, and take a step back and see the refreshing look of your home.

Part of your prep work should be the removal of any rusting nail heads. No paint product can stop rust bleed. Use the drill bit from Nail Head Gone to remove those rusty nail heads, it takes about 10 seconds per nail head.

You don't work below the top of the ladder... sheesh... Forget the roller unless it's say cedar siding or T-111 Use a heavier nap roller than this if you do. forget the masking, you're not spraying it... but be careful of things below you that do need covering...

To make my exterior paint go farther can I use interior paint for my first coat and go with my exterior paint for the 2nd coat? I'm painting the outside of my house. I have wood siding on my house.

But what about Aluminum Siding? I can't seem to locate a video from Lowe's on how to prep and paint using the spray system. Can someone point me in the right direction? I need to get the supplies within a month thanks!

This uneducated tom sawyer painter doesn't know jack about painting exterior. Flat paint will not withhold the moisture like paint with a sheen on it. Have you ever seen paint bubble and peal?- probably because you used glossy paint and trapped the moisture beneath it. what do you think is going to happen once the sun hits it? Semigloss on your door frames and jambs but that's it!!! at least i provided reasoning

Completely the opposite, ask anyone who sells paint for a living, not the person putting it on!
-
If you look closely to the label he is pouring out of, it says "Flat" on it. It has no sheen on it what so ever.

Well theres always an exception for everything, its like if I were to say Smoking Causes Cancer and you tell me, what about George Burns? He lived to be over 100? Well thats true however, smoking is still bad for you just like Flat Paint is bad for the exterior of your house. Many people still purchase it because they just don't know any better.
-
what do you mean by flat paint.
-
Great tips!

What about Benjamin Moore's MorLife? Its not a true flat. We started using it 8 years ago and the ones I've gone back to still look freshly painted.
