The secret to painting your vinyl siding lies in the procedure.
- Start by cleaning all the dirt and mildew accumulated through the years. The siding
can be cleaned by hand scrubbing or by power washing it. There are many
cleaners available at your local hardware store. After cleaning it, it is important to
rinse it thoroughly. If you skip this step, the paint will not adhere to the surface.
- Vinyl siding has a very high coefficient of elasticity. This means that it
expands or contracts depending on the temperature. This quality makes it
challenging to paint. - In you want your new painted surface to last a long time, you will need to
chose a high grade acrylic latex paint. This paint has extraordinary bonding
capabilities. It will expand and contract with the vinyl without cracking. - A new color scheme can also be used. However, the new color must be
lighter than the original color. Each vinyl siding is manufactured to resist
specific levels of heat. If you chose a darker color, your “new” siding will
absorb more heat. This could have some ugly consequences – your siding
might warp or buckle. - Try not to paint under the direct sunlight if possible. Overcast weather
produces better results.
