3 Pro Tips to Spray Hardie Plank Siding Like a Painting Expert | No Flashing, Lap Marks, or Holidays
What happens here
As a bonus tip, understand that Hardy Plank siding will *always* require multiple coats of paint, never just one. For brand new construction, it's guaranteed to need two coats, and potentially a third coat depending on the chosen color. Even if the Hardy Plank has been previously painted correctly, a repaint will typically still require two coats to achieve a uniform and durable finish. Attempting to apply a single heavy coat usually results in an unsatisfactory outcome. This consideration for multiple coats is critical when estimating and bidding on painting projects involving Hardy Plank siding, as it significantly impacts material and labor costs.
Goal: Achieve full coverage and a durable finish on Hardy Plank siding by applying the necessary number of coats.
