Painting drip metal. How to paint an old house exterior
What happens here
After applying the first coat with the roller, proceed to apply the second coat to the fascia, cutting in any edges and tight areas with the Premier Riverdale angled sash brush. The presenter highlights the visual difference between a painted drip edge (matching the fascia) and an unpainted one. Painting the drip metal to match the fascia provides a 'tall width' and a more expensive, seamless look that visually extends to the gutters. He reiterates that this metal is a powder-coated type, not galvanized, which allows paint to adhere effectively without peeling, a method he has used for 25 years with excellent results. He emphasizes that using a quality, lifetime warranty paint is crucial for this durability.
Goal: Complete the painting of the fascia and drip metal with a second coat and precise brushwork for clean lines.
