For the amount of time you spent masking/unmasking, would it have been easier to roll/brush the whole thing? We have a similar house that needs its metal siding painted.
Good question! It is much quicker to spray (even when you include masking time) than to brush and roll. That is because a brush and roller have an really hard time getting into all of the nooks and seams of siding. Also spraying leaves a smooth finish while a brush/roller would leave a textured finish in the siding.
I’m interested on how this has held up? I have metal siding as well and am very interested in how often I’ll have to re-paint. My wife and I think we’ve found our forever home. My wife’s name is Rachael and she’s a major DIY’er herself 😂
I believe my house has metal siding because I took a magnet and it stuck to it so what kind of paint do you use. Oil base or something because this will be my first time painting my house
I would highly recommend going to a Sherwin Williams store. They will be able to provide you the correct primer and paint that you need. Also be sure to clean the siding really well before painting, good prep work is what makes for a good paint job.
We purchased our paint and primer through our local sherwin Williams store. I highly recommend them because they will be able to match the perfect paint and primer combination for your specific painting application.
We have never had to thin our paint for the track sprayer. We did have some overspray but that was due to us not masking off the eaves completely (which is what we do now).
Thanks! We just used a Graco Magnum Project Painter Plus for this entire house. After we finished the outside we ended upgrading to the Graco Magnum X7 to paint the inside. The X7 was much nicer spraying out of 5 gallon buckets.
Hmm... sorry but that is not true. The professional painters we have worked with will always use tape to protect anything they don't want paint to get on. Maybe lazy painters don't use tape? 🤣
