  • Hi,

    Can i use roller for exterior wall painting? its a brick wall i have not very smooth .thanxx

  • Absolutely yes! Get the cover with 3/4-inch nap.

  • Hi there - I'm going to paint my house that has steel siding - would you recommend the acrylic / polyeruthane paint for steel? Also, is there a special type of primer I should apply prior to painting? Thanks in advance -

  • Yes I would. Read the label of the finish paint can for primer recommendations.

  • Thanks ATB, all very helpful - liked the tip on paint selection!

  • i was gonna say something negative at first but that was a good tip about not getting the wood to wet.. i probbably wouldnt have tthought of that and would have overdone it

  • i know you arent spraying here. ive been searching "back brushing" with no results. ive done three exteriors of my homes so far with proper prep and sprayed with a pro-grade sprayer. they have turned out pretty well, and the oldest one of 13 years is still looking good. what, when, where, and why do you back brush? thanks.

  • where's your amonia and sandpaper?

  • How common are the exterior paints with polyurethane in them? Does Valspar make this kind?

  • Please go to my website and read ALL of my Exterior Painting columns for your answers.
