How To Apply Wood Home Siding Spray Paint And Outside Trim?

To paint exterior trim, start by using a paint brush to cut into the trim and any areas below drips or decorative moldings. Use a roller to apply paint from side to side, covering a 3-4 foot section of wood siding. Use a paint brush to feather the paint for a smooth finish. Remove dirt, mildew, or mold, and scrape off any peeling paint. Repair damaged siding, soffits, or trim, drive loose nails flush, sand rough surfaces, and caulk gaps as needed.

Work in sections, keeping the spray tip about 12 inches from the surface. Spray the outer edges first and overlap spray passes by 50. After completing the eaves, move on to the exterior. Airless paint sprayers are the most efficient way to paint the exterior of your house.

To create a beautiful finish on wood siding, start at the top of the area and work your way down, spraying any eaves or undersides of any overhangs. Hold the airless paint sprayer about 1 foot away from the trim, ensuring it is parallel to the surface for a level paint job. You can spray the body, mask siding around the windows, spray the trim including sides, or just hand paint the trim afterwards.
