What happens here

Use an 18-inch nap roller, specifically mentioned for its effectiveness in covering large areas and pushing primer into textured surfaces.

This ensures the primer deeply penetrates the siding's texture, especially on any 'fuzzy' or previously damaged areas, maximizing adhesion and creating a strong foundation for the topcoat.

Goal: Apply primer to all siding for enhanced adhesion and a smooth finish

Tools and materials

  • 18-inch Nap Roller — Applying primer to large sections of siding
  • Extension Pole — Extending the reach of the roller for higher areas
  • Paint Tray — Holding the primer for easy roller loading
