The right exterior paint system begins with the substrate and preparation—not just the brand name on the can. Siding, trim, masonry, doors, and exterior wood may require different primers, coatings, and sheens.
Preparation is the performance foundation
Cleaning, drying, scraping, sanding, repairs, caulking, and spot priming are what allow a premium coating to perform as intended.
Match the product to the surface
Previously painted wood, fiber cement, vinyl, brick, metal, and composite surfaces each have different needs. The best coating is one that is compatible with the surface, exposure, and existing finish.
