One of the many projects I need to get after now that it’s decent out is touching up the siding on our house, which I’ve never done before. Anyone have any recommendations, especially regarding type/brand of primer and paint? I know I can get a lot of results from Google, but I thought I’d see if anyone has any recommendations or things that worked well for them. BTW it’s aluminum siding.
Wash it good with something, let dry and prime and paint. Unless its the same color then maybe just paint. I would contact Hirshfield’s or Sherwin and see what they say. Or pay a professional to do it:)
I drywall and paint for a living. Pressure wash or scrub your siding with TSP, tri sodium phosphate, its mildly irritating to the skin so use rubber gloves if you want. But atleast try to wash it some. Go to Sherwinn Williams and buy your paint and that paint is DTM, direct to metal, no priming necessary. Any peeling paint lay the edges down with a sanding sponge or an electric palm sander or just scrape. DTM is what you want and its a latex and bonds well. Im in the Sherwinn Williams system and you can use my account, just message me and you’ll get my discount. I don’t know what my %age is on DTM but its sizable, They will call me and just tell them im going to do the job for you, its not a big deal or breaking the law, its ok… Ill give you hints on how to lay the paint down to get a smooth finish, just message me.
