Painting Procedure For English Tudor

back@it

I have a tudor to start next week and was just curious how most of you would approach it. (The house is not an 'old' tudor but a newer one - say 30 years old maybe more or less.)

My plan is to pressure wash first, let dry a day or so, then spray/back brush or roll the eves and the 1x tudir boards(dark color). Change color and spray/back brush or roll the 'body' panels (lighter color).

Since it was sold as a two coat job, I will tehn spray it a second coat - without the back brush/roll. Sound like a plan?

Anybody?

I would do normal prep. PW-ing caulking and the rest. Spray all trim first with two coats. Using a brush, cut-in all stucco areas and mask off all horizontal trim. spray all centers of all stucco back roll the first coat and then apply the second coat. Depending on how well the second coat covers, you may have to back roll the second coat. Remove all mask and get paid

Thanks! I would assume you would also back-brush after spraying - at least on the prime coat?

Back brushing is necessary if you want to drive the primer in deep into grain of wood- much better job if you do...
