Yes you can paint them and they hold very well.
The first thing you need to do is wash the shingles down to remove dirt and mildew. Jomax is good product to use and all you need is a pump up garden sprayer and a hose to use this product. You do not want to scrape or sand the shingles directly as you could release asbestos but otheriwse you will be fine. Allow the shingles to dry for a couple of sunny days before you start to paint them. Then you will need to prime the shingles with an exterior acrylic primer, such as Duron Bond-N-Seal and finish with 2 coats of either a flat or satin acrylic house paint, such as Duron Weathershield. I feel that you will need to coats of finish to get an even look if it has been many years since it has been paint or even it if never and the paint job will last longer also.
Happy painting. |
