Q:We're in NW Indiana and have clear cedar clapboard siding finished with solid stain in a medium brown gray color. Have considerable fading on the south and west sides. Best finishes for durability and minimal fading? Does sheen make a difference?

Answer This Question

A:  Hi BobS, thank you for your question and the helpful details about your project. Our best exterior paint to help avoid fading and weathering is our Dynasty Exterior Paint. It provides excellent fade resistance and we also have a select 10-Year Color Fade Protection color collection designed to withstand challenging UV conditions. Additionally, I recommend using a glossy (satin or semi-gloss) finish to enhance the fade resistance even further. Please feel free to reach out to us directly if you have any other questions. Have a great day! -Lina

    Q:I need a paint to paint my shed. I am stripping the old. And should the paint have primer or should I get that alone?

    Answer This Question

    A:  Hello, thank you for your question. Our Premium Plus Paint is a self-priming product, and the first coat will be the primer coat. The additional coats will build up the color and finish. The surface should be sound, clean, and dry before painting. Good luck with your project! -Giovanna

        Q:Can I use on exterior red brick chimney?

        Answer This Question

        A:  Hi Greg, thank you for your question. Our Premium Plus Exterior Paint can be used to paint the outside of a brick chimney as long as the surface does not reach temperatures above 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures that exceed the recommended range will cause the coating to fail. Have a great day! -Lina

          Q:Can this be used on a painted aluminum fence that is powdercoated?

          Answer This Question

          A:  Hi there, thanks for the question. For painting over a fence that is powder-coated, I'd recommend priming it first with our Bonding Primer, as it is designed to adhere to dense glossy surfaces. If you were to use the Premium Plus Paint without the Bonding Primer, there could be adhesion issues. Have a great day! -Ronald

            A:  Hi there, thank you for your question. Our Premium Plus Exterior Paint can be used on metal so long as it's not a copper or non-galvanized metal surface. If you're painting wrought iron, the surface must be primed with our rust-inhibiting Multi-Surface Primer (No.436) beforehand. Have a great day! -Lina
