Can You Paint Vinyl Siding? Tips and Tricks on Painting Vinyl Like a Pro!
What happens here
For the actual application of paint to vinyl siding, the presenter strongly recommends using an airless sprayer. He explicitly advises against brushing and rolling, as these methods can leave undesirable 'rope marks' and uneven textures on the vinyl surface. Spraying offers a significantly faster application process and results in a much smoother, more natural-looking finish, making the paint appear as if it was originally coated that way. He suggests specific airless sprayer tip sizes: a 515 tip for efficiently covering large areas and a 310 fine finish tip for smaller or more detailed sections, depending on the scope of the project and the type of sprayer. He also clarifies that when using high-quality, self-priming paints designed for vinyl (such as Benjamin Moore Aura), a separate primer layer is typically not required.
