Washing it down with a nice Central Coast Voignier.

House paint is a LOT thicker than water, don't know if I'd care to try that with my pressure washer. Fortunately, though, at least around here, you can rent the purpose-made equivalent.

I don't bother, though. Friend of a friend will get it all done for about $500 including the paint and equipment. Just don't try to talk to the crew in English :smile:

It's going around. My friend offered his washer and said it ran fine. It doesn't run. Tomorrow out comes the BFH. If I'd rented I'd be done.

Ethanol. At least that's what had a death grip on the one here. Took more time to auger the crud that stuff causes outta the carb and fuel shut-off valve than it took to spray the hovel down.

You going to roll it on or spray it?

Rollers 'n brushes. Savin' my carbon credits for the cars. :jester:
 
Best way if you're changing color.
I really don't trust spray paint jobs on houses unless they are back brushed
 
Sprayers seem to send half the paint to the house, the other half down wind. I think roller and brush get more on the target.
 
Not if it is a decent sprayer.
Mostly it is just that the paint doesn't necessarily bind to the surface
