Exterior Painting questions, answered by experts

Choosing the right paint color for a major investment like painting the exterior brick on your house can be a daunting task. Perhaps the most important thing is to find painted brick houses that you like and replicate the look by researching their colors and asking the homeowners for the paint color code. If all else fails, white-painted brick is a timeless, classic look that is unlikely to go out of style.

While it may surprise you, the best time to paint the interior of your home is not during the warm open-window months, but rather during the late fall or even winter. This is because the cooler months offer ideal humidity conditions for painting. Lower humidity and cooler temperatures means faster drying time and better paint adhesion. 

With patience, you can often save a dried paintbrush. Soak the bristles overnight and clean the brush as you would any other time. You'll likely have to repeat the cleaning steps, including soaking, more than once.

Many paint brands advertise as being one-coat paints. While technically true, most painting jobs still require at least two coats of paint to fully cover older paint effectively. When covering particularly dark paints with a lighter color or covering a lighter color with dark paint, three coats, and sometimes more, are often necessary to avoid streaks and spots.

Yes, using oil-based paints is an effective way to paint new metal awnings or update old ones. However, with the wide variety of pre-made kits available now, you might consider just upgrading or purchasing the color of metal awnings you wish instead of painting. 

If your old awnings are still in good shape, painting might make sense. As an added bonus, painting an aluminum awning may also help prevent corrosion.
