Whether your home is covered in wood siding, stucco, or even brick, old peeling and faded paint is more than just ugly. Painting textured exterior walls is especially important so that imperfections and wear or tear is hidden. Left alone, it\u2019ll get worse and could lead to rotting and cracking.<br>Start by power washing the entire house to blast away dirt, grime and loose paint. This will give the new layer of paint a nice, clean surface to adhere to. Allow the siding to dry for one or two days in good weather before applying the first coat of paint.<br>You should also scrape off any remaining loose paint that the power washer couldn\u2019t get. This can be done using a combination of hand scrapers and Wagner\u2019s PaintEATER&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/products\/surface-prep-tools\/paint-eater\/\">disc sander tool<\/a>. The PaintEATER does a great job of removing loose paint and smoothing the surface.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wst-blocks-project-step__number\">Step #1<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-wst-blocks-project-step\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"609\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-1-1024x609.jpg\" alt=\"man masking off exterior lamp\" class=\"wp-image-10886\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-1-1024x609.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-1-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-1-768x457.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-1.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Learn how to paint a house using a paint sprayer to achieve a whole new look, keep it protected, and save thousands in the process!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group wp-block-wst-blocks-project-step__content is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prepare-the-space\"><strong>PREPARE THE SPACE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that the exterior is clean, it\u2019s time to make repairs and prep the space for painting. Start this process by spot priming any bare wood areas and caulking gaps between the wood. It\u2019s also important to fill holes in the wood siding and replace missing or damaged mortar in the brick.<br>You should also cover any light fixtures, windows, and shrubbery with plastic sheeting to protect them from overspray. Gutters and downspouts can also be removed if needed. We recommend removing downspouts to allow for easier access when spraying the siding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wst-blocks-project-step__number\">Step #2<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-wst-blocks-project-step\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"609\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-2-1024x609.jpg\" alt=\"practicing spray pattern on piece of cardboard\" class=\"wp-image-10885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-2-1024x609.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-2-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-2-768x457.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-2.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Learn how to paint a house using a paint sprayer to achieve a whole new look, keep it protected, and save thousands in the process!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group wp-block-wst-blocks-project-step__content is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prepare-the-paint-sprayer-for-the-house\"><strong>PREPARE THE PAINT SPRAYER FOR THE HOUSE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Prepare and prime your sprayer to get ready for painting per the owner&#8217;s manual.

It\u2019s a high-efficiency airless sprayer, giving you professional speed and up to 55% less overspray than traditional airless sprayers.<br>It\u2019s a good idea to practice the paint spray on a big piece of cardboard before painting the house and adjust your pressure as you find a spraying speed you\u2019re comfortable with, the higher the pressure the faster you will need to move the spray gun. Keep the spray gun about 12-inches away from and parallel with the surface, whether you\u2019re spraying side-to-side or up-and-down. Start moving your hand before pulling the trigger to avoid any heavy spots and release the trigger after you finish each pass.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wst-blocks-project-step__number\">Step #3<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8a324315 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-wst-blocks-project-step\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"609\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-5-1024x609.jpg\" alt=\"painting eaves with paint sprayer\" class=\"wp-image-10884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-5-1024x609.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-5-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-5-768x457.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-5.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Learn how to paint a house using a paint sprayer to achieve a whole new look, keep it protected, and save thousands in the process!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group wp-block-wst-blocks-project-step__content is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-paint-eaves-and-trim-with-the-sprayer\"><strong>PAINT EAVES AND TRIM WITH THE SPRAYER<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin by painting the eaves and trim with the paint sprayer.<br>The Control Pro sprayer comes with a 515 spray tip, but when spraying trim, it\u2019s recommended to use a 313 or 413 spray tip. These spray tip sizes will produce a narrower spray pattern with lower flow, which is great for spraying trim.<br>Make sure you\u2019re spraying in the direction of the wood grain. For trim, that can mean up and down for some boards and side-to-side for others. Make sure you adjust the tip correctly for the direction you\u2019ll be spraying in. We also recommend not spraying when it\u2019s windy outside. Not only will it affect your spray pattern, but you might get paint on something you don\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wst-blocks-project-step__number\">Step #4<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-wst-blocks-project-step\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"609\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-3-1024x609.jpg\" alt=\"painting home exterior\" class=\"wp-image-10883\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-3-1024x609.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-3-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-3-768x457.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Step-3.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Learn how to paint a house using a paint sprayer to achieve a whole new look, keep it protected, and save thousands in the process!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group wp-block-wst-blocks-project-step__content is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-paint-exterior-of-house-with-a-sprayer\"><strong>PAINT EXTERIOR OF HOUSE WITH A SPRAYER<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the trim painted, now it\u2019s time to paint the siding. Make sure the trim is fully dry, then mask off the trim with painter\u2019s tape and plastic sheeting. For the siding, you can use the 515 tip that comes with the sprayer to get the fastest coverage, plus it\u2019s ideal for exterior latex paints.

If you have any drips while spraying, you can level them out with a paint brush and then continue spraying. In addition, using a paint shield helps protect parts of the house from overspray that might be hard or impossible to mask off with plastic or a drop cloth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wst-blocks-project-step__number\">Step #5<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-wst-blocks-project-step\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"609\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Header-2-1024x609.jpg\" alt=\"painted home exterior\" class=\"wp-image-10882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Header-2-1024x609.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Header-2-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Header-2-768x457.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.wagnerspraytech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Header-2.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Learn how to paint a house using a paint sprayer to achieve a whole new look, keep it protected, and save thousands in the process!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group wp-block-wst-blocks-project-step__content is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-enjoy-the-transformed-home-exterior\"><strong>ENJOY THE TRANSFORMED HOME EXTERIOR<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After a thorough prep job and a couple of days of painting, you can dramatically change the look of your house with an updated color and apply a protective layer against the elements that will last for many years.
