Exterior Paint Primer
Selecting the right paint for the job can be tricky. Choose the wrong kind, and you may end up with cracks, peeling, or fading. Choose the wrong color and you'll be stuck with it for up to 10 years. Consider these tips before you pick up the paintbrush.

Oil-Base or Latex?
Nothing beats high-quality latex for exterior surfaces. It's more flexible than oil-based paints, which can harden over time and tend to crack and allow water to seep underneath. It also dries faster and handles shifting temperatures better. It's most suitable for clapboard, vinyl, and aluminum. Opt for quality when choosing paint. Although more expensive, higher quality paints have more in-can preservatives and additives, which provide durability and protect against mildew and fading.
