A couple of things. (I have exact same).

If it's new siding, paint is supposed to be brushed. Not sprayed. Mine was sprayed and it didn't last as long as it should have. So I had the next painter brush, just to be safe.

If you're re-painting, I don't know why you would need primer.

Mine was built in 1999. I wish they had Hardieplank trim. soffit, etc. then, but they didn't.

You can have them shoot tint into the primer. -- bluehokie 08/12/2020 1:47PM

Can dark beer be used as tint? Guess not.** -- coshokie 08/12/2020 1:49PM

You can cover w/ spray in one coat, but it goes through paint quickly. -- 48zip 08/12/2020 2:08PM

Dang, that sounds sweet. was it super glossy like a car? -- HokieSignGuy 08/12/2020 2:27PM

Glossy, but the drywall doesn't let it get mirror-like. -- 48zip 08/12/2020 2:43PM

What kind of paint were you using on those walls? Seems like a latex-based -- HokieSignGuy 08/12/2020 2:53PM

It was latex, but I'm sure I thinned it for the sprayer. ** -- 48zip 08/12/2020 2:59PM

Yep, the pro painters always tint their primers. -- MP4VT2004 08/12/2020 1:13PM

Yep, and the primer will only be as good as the prepped surface. -- bluehokie 08/12/2020 1:50PM

Fake news.... you need to do multiple coats ** -- turkeywinghokie 08/12/2020 1:06PM

What type of surface do you have? ** -- 48zip 08/12/2020 1:01PM

Hardiboard siding and regular wood trim. ** -- Coach McGuirk 08/12/2020 1:04PM

Prime example of a well thought out PSA. ** -- Hokie360 08/12/2020 12:59PM
