What kind of paint do you use on the metal siding? Brand? Type? Cost? This would be really helpful info!
Hi...
I have a house to flip. Aluminum siding is in great shape. But; extreme dull oxidized. Plus; vine stuck to siding at places. I pressure washed and it did nothing. So; I am sanding it before paint.
What paint should I use for coverage and longevity?
I have a customer with siding that is flaking down to the metal. So, basically powerwashing would send flakes flying everywhere. I was thinking of applying some kind of a paint stripper and then powerwashing. Have you ever tried that? If so, how did it go?
We have, if there are many layers its not a bad idea... but if its just the factory coating a good hard wash will do the trick
Do you use rust-remover or converter?
we do love them... they work very well
@@DanHaer Which one did you use? Rust remover or rust converter
@@theropesofrenovation9352 garage.eastwood.com/eastwood-chatter/encapsulator-vs-converter/
this is a link to some good info on rust converters, we have used many over the past 20 years or so... Most of the time we use rust-oleum rust reformer.
@@DanHaer AWesome. Thanks so much!
Pressure washing doesn't remove oxidation
I hate to argue... but Oxidation in this video refers to the paint coating that has gotten chalky as a result of the suns UV rays breaking down the coating.
Oxidation is any chemical reaction that involves the moving of electrons. ... When iron reacts with oxygen it forms a chemical called rust because it has been oxidized (the iron has lost some electrons) and the oxygen has been reduced (the oxygen has gained some electrons).
This oxidation usually appears as a chalky residue. When chalky paint or vinyl siding is washed either with a strong antioxidant or just very high pressure alone the "oxidized chemical residue" comes off. therefore washing does in fact remove oxidation.
@@DanHaer Arguing with you is not my intention. It just so happens that I to am a painting and pressure washing contractor located in Jersey. The point I'm trying to make is that pressure washing alone does not remove oxidation from aluminum siding.
@@scottcheney6955 I agree bc I've pressure washed my siding A LOT and it still is chalky. Curious: Do you service vineland nj area? I have house with aluminum siding that I'd like to get painted. Thought about doing it myself but I dont think good idea will prob look worse. Thank you
Just use Flood Emusla bond in the paint , chalk is no problem
Do u have a video taking about HOW TO CAULK ALUMINUM SIDING
Not yet, but I can make one. the product I would recommend for caulking aluminum corners is SW loxon H-1 caulk or BASF NP-1 caulk. These are 1 part urethane sealants that will bond well and "stretch" enough to hold together and are both paintable, unlike mose silicone caulks. Typically siding is only caulked in the corners where siding meets the trim and with aluminum there is a lot of movement so its very important that the joint be clean before applying the caulk
Oil based primer then acrylic? Peeling waiting to happen 🙄
So the idea that acrylics can not be applied over oil has been around for decades... an oil based finish paint product and an oil bonding primer have very different properties.
A Typical oil based top coat product for example - SW oil based industrial enamel or rustoleum enamel, these are very high density alkyd resin and cures very hard and smooth. This hard smooth finish does indeed make it very difficult for Acrylic or latex paints to bond , BUT an oil based primer is a very different coating than a oil based top coat both are designed to bite/bond very good to what ever they touch, and both penetrate deeply into the substrate and block out stains most of the time , however the oil primers are much softer and have a much more porous/rough finish which allows the acrylic/latex paints to get good inner-coat adhesion.
The paint reps from just about all the major companies keep giving me acrylic and other water based primers to try some acrylic primers bond just as well as oil primers, but none I have used as of 2020 can do both... bond and block stains as well as an oil based primer.
In my kitchen I used oil based primer underneath and water-based latex on top. Worked very well for me and cleans nicely. But that's interior. But I don't see why it wouldn't work for exterior
