Outside house painting , spray or roll - Microman - 07-03-2016
I've always been a cut in with a brush, and then roll the paint. I have a house with a second story facing north, and on the second floor the wood siding gets its white color darkened by mold
I know professionals do a lot of spray painting,but I have never done that or have the equipment
Home Depot is having a sale and I was hoping to buy their expensive $30 a gallon mold kill primer foe $10 off a gallon, then going with a color to match tha stucco and do the trim white
Look into spraying or just do brush and roller?
And dos this mold kill primer work?

Spray is faster. I've sprayed a stucco house. Bought a sprayer at lowes and paint at Sherman Williams. 100 acrylic is what the paint pro recommended. Prep is key.

Are you including the time it takes to mask and unmask?

Sherwin Williams, some HDs will rent you the professional equipment....

Prep for both rolling and spraying around the floors/doors/windows is pretty close. You have to protect what you do not want painted.
You also get better coverage with the sprayer. Not having to go back with a paint brush to cover what the roller missed on the stucco or edges of trim really saves time.

Is the paint needing replacing? Maybe you just need to clean the mold.

Depends on how bad the mold is. Might just be time to "accidentally" drop a candle, collect the insurance, and start over.

I can definitely see the advantage of spraying on stucco. But on a block house like mine, seems like six of one, half dozen the other.

I think it would take a 10 kiloton nuclear device to fix that one, arch...
