Surface preparation is key to a successful exterior paint job.
When applying Behr outdoor paint, follow these steps:
Countersink any nails then fill and sand.
Caulk around windows, doors and trim as needed. Be sure to use a paint-able caulk.
Remove peeling and loose paint.
Wash any existing painted surfaces to remove chalk and dirt.
Prepare any raw metal and masonry with an appropriate cleaner etcher product.
When all surfaces are dry, prime all wood and bare metal surfaces. For drastic color changes, consider priming everything with a tinted Behr outdoor primer - tinted to a similar color as the final paint. Check with the paint store where you are purchasing your Behr Outdoor Paint to see if your color will benefit from a tinted primer. Apply the paint following the temperature and moisture guidelines.
