Painting a Home Exterior, DIY Tips From A PRO

What happens here

Before commencing a large painting project, it's crucial to perform a color match check to ensure the new paint perfectly blends with any existing paint, especially if matching a previously painted surface. Apply a small dot of the new paint, in this case, Montage paint in the color "Blue Bayou," onto an inconspicuous area of the house. Allow it to fully dry, as the color can appear lighter when wet. Compare the dried sample to the surrounding paint to confirm a satisfactory match. This proactive step prevents costly rework if the color is incorrect.

Goal: Ensure the new paint color perfectly matches the existing paint, preventing discrepancies after full 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.
