Can you paint the exterior of your above ground pool if so what kind of paint should be used?

How to prepare a house for painting?
Exterior Painting- To paint the exterior of your home you need to properly power wash the house using TSP (a product from Sherwin-Williams). Verify that the paint dosent rub off on your hand when you wipe your hand across it. If it does, then your paint is "chalking". If you have already powerwashed and it is still coming off as a powder, then re power wash it. Next step is to scrape any loose material. Then prime any bare spots with exterior primer. Then, caulk any gaps, or seams. Depending on if you spray the house, or brush and roll it...you need to protect surfaces not to be painted. Spraying requires more areas to use plastic to protect the surfaces such as landscaping, windows, etc. Then paint all of the siding color, then the trim color.

What is the best paint for exterior painting of a hosue?
Once, you would have used oil paint because of its ability to hold up longer, but the clean up was much more difficult. Now, latex (water-based) paint can last just as long and clean up is a snap. Look for latex paint brands that are labeled for exterior use and that carry a 20-year warranty. More important than purchasing a specific brand is that you prepare the exterior of the home properly for painting. Be sure to scrape peeling paint, prime any bare spots and clean well before applying paint.
