DIY Exterior Paint

Prep Your Home for a Fresh New Look

To determine exactly how much paint you’ll need for your project...
   - add the length of all sides of the house
   - multiply the product by the house’s height (plus two for overhang)
   - divide the total square footage of your project by the coverage rate displayed on the 
     paint can you’ve selected   

For surface preparation..
   - scrape off loose paint
   - sandpaper to dull surfaces
   - use pressure washer with commercial cleaning solution to wash house; remove loose
     remaining paint chips
   - rinse thoroughly; let dry for at least 24 hours
 
CONGRATULATIONS, you’re ready to begin painting. Take your time, do a thorough job,
and you'll have added value to your home, slowed deterioration and given yourself a sense
of accomplishment.
