Spray versus Brush Paint to Exterior of House

04/01/2008 10:48 AM gashoo

There is always been two sides of exterior house painting believers. One says "You must use Brush to paint", teh other says"Spray is the best to fill in cracks and last longer".
In Florida, which one should be used when painting the exterior of a house?
Thanks

What type of exterior siding do you have?

If it is wood siding then spraying is the better way to go as you apply more paint than brushing. Just be sure to use the premium exterior acrylic paint line from the paint store as it is really your best value.

Let me add another thing about paint spraying. There are some that say you have to thin the paint down alot to get it through a sprayer but if you have a commercial paint sprayer that is just not the case.
