Add value to your home or building, by painting vinyl siding and trim.
Many homeowners are not aware that vinyl siding can be successfully painted. With the right paint and appealing color options, you can give your home a whole new look—without investing in new siding.
Applying paint to vinyl siding improves its durability, and because the siding does not retain moisture, it is easy to clean and dries quickly.
Benefits of repainting vinyl siding
Repainting offers long-lasting benefits:
- Refreshes weathered or faded siding to nearly factory-new appearance, improving the value of your home
- Updates a home's color scheme for enhanced curb appeal
- Protects the siding from the elements with the latest coating technology
The professional painters at GSL PAINTING follow these steps for the best results:
Step 1: Cleaning
Before painting, the surface must be cleaned and any mildew, chalk, or dirt removed to ensure maximum adhesion and to avoid staining. Power-washing is the prefered method to clean vinyl siding and to remove loose paint. Following power-washing the peeled edges are lightly feather sanded before panting.
Step 2: Priming
In most cases priming all of the siding is not necessary. Areas of pitted or porous vinyl siding are primed using high hiding all purpose Primer.

For coating vinyl siding or trim, we us a full line of paints that provide excellent color retention, are resistant to mildew and can be applied in temperatures as low as 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
