What to Paint First? Tips and Tricks for Painting Solo! Final Solo Painting Project Revealed.

What happens here

The painter demonstrates removing downspouts before painting, which is crucial for achieving full paint coverage on the siding that would otherwise be hidden. He emphasizes that downspouts should always be removed. He then proceeds to spray the vinyl siding. He observes that certain sections of the siding, particularly those exposed to direct sunlight or harsh conditions, dried prematurely, affecting the paint's sheen. To correct this, he re-sprayed those areas to ensure a consistent and proper satin finish across the entire surface.

Goal: This step involves removing downspouts to ensure complete paint coverage behind them and spraying the vinyl siding for a uniform finish, with re-spraying if necessary for proper sheen.
