Like most folks, painting the outside of your home isn't high on your list of projects. Spray painting the exterior of your house may seem like a quick way to get the job done, in some cases this is true. But, know this type of job isn't for everybody, nor is it for every house. One of the most hardest part of spray painting a house is the preparation work required. For a fast and professional looking paint job, may require the rental of a heavy duty professional paint sprayer. You'll need other equipment like, an extension ladder, drop cloths, plastic, painters tape, masking paper, ladder jacks and planks or scaffold for steady footing and easier mobility. Before spraying your house cover all windows, doors, trim, lighting, outside outlets and switches. Cover other objects you don't want painted like shrubs, sidewalk and foundation with drop cloth and plastic. Test sprayer on a small area like a piece plywood or cardboard to perfect the spraying technique. Keep the gun 8 to 10in. from the surface when painting. When the outside of your home make sure you watch your local news for weather conditions. Not only do you not want to paint in rainy, snowy, cold or in extreme heat, but you don't want to paint in windy condition even if everything is covered. Use a paint suit, eyewear, respirator and gloves. If you don't have a paint suit, wear long sleeves and pants.
