Great instrucanal video; My question , is their a rule of thumb if the exterior walls are simi gloss , do the rain gutters and eaves also need to be simi gloss, ...or is it OK to paint the Eaves in a gloss, rain gutters simi, All three are different colors,

Its up to you, it's what the customer wants. personally I use low sheen on just about everything but the final call is the customers.

Hey mate can you use water based over existing oil based gutters? Mine have faded and I want to freshen them up. That’s if they are oil based haha. Lady at Bunnings said if it’s oil based if you wipe with terms it will shine. If water based it will rub off

@howtopaintinfo 4 жыл бұрын

You can paint over old oil based paints but you will need to sand the surface first and use an undercoat. The women at Bunnings was correctish, turps won't soften oil based paint but it will soften the acrylic which will come off with lots of rubbing. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

Gday mate, from my research it sounds like enamel is better for gutters as it’s more durable and glossy but what’s your take? I know you used acrylic in this video though. I will be painting the gutters grey too. Cheers, from Perth!

@howtopaintinfo 3 жыл бұрын

When I first started my apprenticeship we only ever used oil based paint on gutters and fascia's. The issue with oil based paint is that it goes chalky after a while and also cracks as it gets older. Acrylics however are more flexible and hold their colour better then oil paints, I have seen gutters painted with acrylic paint still looking good after 10 years.

Depending on your wing span, know that shift weight to either far side of a ladder can result in a fall. Keep both feet three inches apart in the middle to keep the center of gravity. Otherwise, get a spotter to help.

Is it necessary to paint with a second coat or is one coat sufficient?

@user-ft6on1gi7n 3 ай бұрын

Depends on colour. Sometimes one coat will fully cover the old colour. Let your first coat dry & inspect it. You may get away with one coat, or you may see the old colour showing through meaning a second coat is required

@howtopaintinfo 3 ай бұрын

For external surfaces it is best to do two coats, it will last longer. Don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

In my neighbor were i live, nobody paints their gutters . I never have seen this yet. i have been cleaning my gutters FOR the last 6 years. its 2020, my house was built in 2006 -i have with Aluminum gutters , i have been using scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner foaming bleach, plus Fantastik 5 AND 1 ... This stuff would make the gutters --really shiny and look new.. Started to clean these gutters after the house was built in 2006 - the gutters started to look like crap in ( 2014, So I started to remove the MOLD AND DIRT IN 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 WITH THE PRODUCTS I MENTIONED --SCRUBBING BUBBLES + FANTASTIK Bleach 5 AND 1... Now in the year of 2020 the paint is wearing off all of the sudden .... This must be normal, You buy gutters for your new home in 2006 and do the right thing clean --the Aluminum gutters-- wash them off with power washer then the paint starts to wear off.. NICE ... THE LOWES AND HOME DEPOT PRODUCTS ZEP, GREASE LIGHTING , OUTDOOR CLEANER THE ONE YOU ATTACH TO YOUR HOSE, WHAT A JOKE, KRUD GUTTER CLEANER, AND ALL THE REST OF THESE SHIT PRODUCTS NOTHING WORKED BUT THE (Fantastik Bleach 5 and 1) this tuff removed the mold good , spray on for 5-8 mins scrub with a long brush, then power wash clean with a lot of water.. NOW THE PAINT IS STARTING TO WEAR OFF....IS THIS NORMAL....

@howtopaintinfo 3 жыл бұрын

Paint will only last about 10 years on any house and can only last a few years in extreme conditions. If your paint is starting to wear after 14 years I would consider this as normal. Try not to use strong chemicals when cleaning painted surfaces, a mild detergent should be enough to remove dirt and there are mold cleaners that work without having to scrub the surface.
