Ask A Painter #4: "Vinyl Siding" 

8 years ago...still viewing. Thank you sir

Overwhelmed with all the good information! I’m going to have to replay this video about 2 more times until I can take it all in 😅 thanks for the good content!

Thank you Nick… I’m in the process of having my vinyl siding painted in the next couple weeks. Your video was very informing!!! I took plenty of notes👍

Thank you!! I feel more confident in doing this project,when being told it smears,and doesn't come out as good as you would think.

You look like a cross between Ben Affleck, Don Trump Jr, and Ryan Reynolds 🤣 informative video. Thank you.

Thanks for this video im about to paint my small house in couple weeks and doing my research before. .

Great video thank you for posting.

Good job you are a real pro!

Great advice, very helpful!

I only use vinyl safe on all my exterior projects excluding black because of the tint structure.

A knowledgeable painter. Very hard to find a trusted contractor these days. Most are just crooks.

Do you prefer Benjamin Moore or Sherwin Williams for vinyl paint?

So if I have a yellow siding color, I can't go darker than yellow?

My vinyl siding is white I’d like to paint it black !!! What would you recommend personally ?

Great video👍👍👍 Could you prevent the siding from warping if you were to paint the siding in the fall or winter? Last summer I bought exterior paint from Lowes and painted the exterior walls of my sunroom a dark grey, and within days the siding was warping.

I am going to paint the vinyl siding on my house and I plan on using Sherwin Williams exterior paint. I will go light and use the vinyl safe colours. I live in Canada and it’s gets really cold in the winter and hot in the summer. My question is should I use Duration, Superpaint or Emerald?

great help man thanks

Can you paint vinyl siding in the fall months ?

Very educational. I do have a question. I sprayed a stain on my deck and got some over spray on the vinyl siding. I used, according to Thompson Water Seal help line, some denatured alcohol which got some off, and then used acetone. The acetone did remove the stain better, but it smeared in places and others places it didn't come off. I'm going to power wash and then touch up some of the places with paint. Would just touching up here there be better than painting the whole side of the house, or would you recommend painting the whole side? I'm painting it white, which is the original color of the siding. Thank you.

I washed new vynle siding with dawn Then primed with zinger adhesion primer and my top coat is still coming off. I believe it's duration. Now what.? Just looked at shed and wherever siding rubbed to come together it's peeling already. Nightmare. Going to hit peeling spots with peel stop.

So if my vinyl siding is white am I screwed wanting to paint it a light grey? Any color would be darker than white....

How can you remove overspray from a vinyl fencing

Hi there Nick from Brittish Columbia I have built a 20x60 deck and have used pressure treated radius decking.The deck was completed app 9 months ago and now i want to stain it using a solid colour oil stain.The deck has never been treated with anything except the factory pressure treated process.1-Do i have to sand the deck first(what grit of sand paper should i use)And 2-what product sould i use Bengie Moore,Sherman Williams,Dulux(glidden).....Thanks for your help....Dean

I've got aluminum siding that I pressure washed and the paint I some areas came off. My guess is the paint is oxidized. Would it be worth painting and what would that strategy look like? Or is that a sign to replace?

Could I do white paint over a light soft yellow?

???? Doesn't Vinyl siding expand and contract ??? If it is painted, wouldn't the paint adhere the siding pieces together ??? Such that what happens to the area where the vinyl pieces over lap ??? I would assume the pieces expand and contract the same and the connection areas would be ok ? Also, when it contracts, wouldn't we see the old color around the edges ???

Can vinyl paint be used on brick

1. do you think the same way you can paint vinyl gutters, the one you can buy at lowes or homedepot now, I just wanted it to match my almond trim color, 2. also how you would recommend to prepare it if its new, 3. how long you think it would less before it start pealing?

How can I remove water based polyurethane acrylic paint from vinyl siding?

Have you ever sprayed vinyl siding and not backrolled or backbrushed it?

THANK YOU .... for your video...& expertise! QUESTION: Is there a way to make EXTERIOR VINYL SIDING (Terra Cotta color).... LOOK “stained”. Perhaps lighting ‘brushing’ a stain colored paint.... over existing siding? Wanting to make it look ‘farmhouse’/weathered. Thanks! Blessings🙏🏼🙌🏻

Thank you so much!

YOU SAID CAULKING ALL THE HOULS. No there is a proper way to caulk it will reck your house;.

Need to sand it, buff it down!

Very outdated now.. paint has changed a lot in 7 years

Them nails though

Someone likes to hear himself speak....
