How to Paint Your Exteriors
Commercial painting can be a science, and an art form… but painting your exterior walls and fences should be a project that should be approached with care. Exterior paint finishes must be applied in layers to get the most out of the final product and should never be applied with too much pressure. If the paint is damaged or flaking, it should be removed from the wall and reapplied with a new coat.
The first step in exterior painting is cleaning and repainting the exterior surface. Exterior cleaning should begin with thoroughly cleaning the exterior surface with a mild soap and water. Exterior cleaning should include any loose dirt or other damage that may have occurred during the time the paint was applied. Exterior cleaning should include removing any loose or damaged peeling paint or other stains, applying the proper primer, apply a specific finishing product, and finally apply the exterior finish.
Once the exteriors paint has been cleaned, it can be used to paint the interiors of the home. When applying exterior paint, a different product than what is used on the exteriors should be used. Primer, paint color and finishing products are the basic building blocks of exterior painting. When using paint colors on exteriors, the same rule that applies to exteriors as well. For example, a white paint color will not look the same on a white exteriors fence as a white exteriors fence will not look the same on a red exteriors fence.
After exterior painting is complete, the interior of the home is left to dry. If exterior finishing products are used before the interior drys, the finish will be damaged. Interior painting should also be followed to avoid peeling or warping of the finish. Once dry, the interior can be sanded down to give it a flat surface.
After the interior is completely dry, it can then be stained. It can also be sprayed over the exteriors to give the exterior a fresh coat of paint. It can also be brushed on top of the exteriors to give the exterior's a gloss look. After finishing, the wood and metal siding should be sealed and repainted. to give it a natural look.
The main goal of exterior painting is to give the exterior a unique look. This unique look can be achieved by painting the exteriors in different colors or even painting the exteriors black or brown. Painting exteriors black will give the exterior a classic appearance while painting exteriors brown will give the exterior a traditional appearance. If you're looking to give an antique, country, or vintage look to your exterior you can paint the exteriors black.
