Paintng Vinyl Siding

  • EjFord question since this is right up your alley, my daughter wants to paint her house but she has vinyl siding, can that be painted or do I have to replace it all with the color she wants? If it can be painted what is the best paint to use with a paint sprayer to accomplish the job, or you can just take a road trip down here and social distance on the property.

  • I have installed siding (aluminum, vinyl, cement, wood and steel) for over 17 years professionally.

    You can in fact paint vinyl, however you need an adhesive primer and a high quality acrylic paint.

    Vinyl siding overlaps about 1 1/2 inches and to do a proper job - one would need to remove all the siding, clean it extremely well, paint it and re-install it.

    In my opinion and with the improvements in siding today - you will get a better product by actually residing it.

    We have had good luck using this product as a primer. We 'brush' everything, to hard to control spraying. Good quality paint is #1 thing. You probably have a Sherwin Williams store near you. I would use there Super paint line. Be sure to let them know that you are painting vinyl siding and they will give you some good advice.
