First off, I'm an electrician, not a painter.
I'm looking at painting the exterior of my house later this year probably fall time. My question is should I buy a sprayer and spray it? or should I use a brush and roller?
I see the Pros using a sprayer all the time but some of the older neighbors tell me to roll it on because it will hold better. I would think spraying would be better because the paint comes out as a mist and I would think it would get in the small cracks better. The house was built in 85, I have some siding to fix and do the usual prep with caulking and whatnot.
What kind of paint will hold up the longest? I was planning on using Sherwin Williams since thats what I see Pros use all the time.
