Painting a Home Exterior, DIY Tips From A PRO

What happens here

The video begins with a color matching check to ensure the new paint matches the existing color, which is identified as 'Montage Paint - Blue Bayou'. This involves applying a small dot of the new paint on the old surface and waiting for it to dry to assess the match. Additionally, caulking is briefly shown being applied to fill gaps and cracks, indicating necessary surface preparation before painting.

Goal: Verify paint color and prepare surfaces for painting.

Tools and materials

  • Caulk — Filling gaps and cracks in the siding
  • Caulking Gun — Applying caulk to fill gaps and cracks
  • Paint Montage — Color matching and main application

So I'm getting ready to just do a color match check on this house the house was previously painted with montage paint. I want to make sure this is the right color before we come back to do any painting because if it's not I'll need to get the right color. A little dot on there looks a little bit light of but it's gonna dry. The color montage I think it's blue bayou so we've got that.
