Question about painting vinyl siding?

Our house is a pale grey, almost white. Originally I wanted to get tan siding because I like that better, but it's too expensive. My mom suggested we just paint the siding. I have read that it's not good to paint it darker than the original color, to avoid buckling. Would going from light gray to a light tan hurt anything?Question about painting vinyl siding?

My home is 12 years old and the vinyl siding and aluminum soffit are faded. I heard you can paint it.?

Is this true? If so, how long does it last, and any recommendations. ThanksMy home is 12 years old and the vinyl siding and aluminum soffit are faded. I heard you can paint it.?
Latex or acrylic paint will adhere to vinyl siding without the need for a primer. Its good to wash the siding first to remove any dirt, pollen and mildew. The big thing when painting vinyl siding is not to paint darker than the original color. Dark colors absorb the sun's heat and which cause warping. Weathered aluminum can be painted the same way.My home is 12 years old and the vinyl siding and aluminum soffit are faded. I heard you can paint it.?
Yes, you can paint aluminum siding and soffits. But it is NOT recommended. Why? Prior to painting, you must completely wash the aluminum. After it is dry, you must lightly sand paper the surface. Then you can apply the paint. BUT, the new surface of paint will only last a maximum of 3 years. Now you must do the whole job over again. And re-doing the job is more difficult because you must remove the 1st layer of paint. Cheaper to call in a contractor and re-side and soffit. The whole purpose of aluminum siding is that it's good looking and last a very long time. Maybe just washing it with a hose would help? Or possibly washing and light spray with an adherent chemical. Check at the paint store or a home products store. I'm sure there must be a product on the market for that purpose. Good Luck.
you can paint it, problem is that unless you wash it and prime it, the paint will not stay on

What are the steps in painting exterior vinyl siding?

I think it is vinyl although it may be aluminum.What are the steps in painting exterior vinyl siding?
It just needs to be clean. Keep in mind, painted siding looks like painted siding. Good luck.What are the steps in painting exterior vinyl siding?
This is not recommended. However, you can look into ripping all of the vinyl siding off the house and then repainting. Usually, when vinyl siding is put on a house, it is placed right over the original siding.





However, when they do this they don't seal or weatherproof the original exterior first.





I had a house once with vinyl siding and we would consistently have a slight breeze in the house coming from the outside.





So, I ripped off all of the vinyl, weatherproofed, and then painted the place and it solved the problem and saved us a great deal in energy costs.

Vinyl is made from a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) plastic. Unlike wood or cedar, it won't rot or flake. Vinyl is usually less expensive to purchase and install than most other siding materials. There are, however, drawbacks. Vinyl can crack, fade, or grow dingy over time. Vinyl is also controversial because of environmental concerns.
I would not suggest painting vinyl siding. Aluminum siding can be painted, but it should be done professionally. I would look into getting the siding replaced if it is that bad. The end result will be worth it, because it will look better and last a lot longer.

Can you paint over vinyl flooring?

ripped up carpet in hall it is orginal vinyl from 1976 great shape awful color can you paint ?Can you paint over vinyl flooring?
That's not going to work. Paint isn't made to be stepped on.


Were you hoping for wood floors?





You can lay a new vinyl floor right over the top of it (cheapest option).


You can pull it up and refinish the floor below it (not always possible if they aren't hardwood).


You can install a floating floor laminate on top (looks like hardwood).Can you paint over vinyl flooring?
You could. You can do anything, but I don't know if you would really want to.

Is true that NASCAR cars are covered with 200 MPH vinyl sticker rather than paint?

LIFEIs true that NASCAR cars are covered with 200 MPH vinyl sticker rather than paint?
Yes, that is very true.Is true that NASCAR cars are covered with 200 MPH vinyl sticker rather than paint?
yep i seen them decal Elliott saddlers car last year . pretty cool to watch
Well, they're not 'covered' as you put it. They leave the windshield uncovered.
Wow, ihateyou is a Rocket Scientist. Like the other ones have said it is true. If I remember right I think it saves the teams alot of money.
yup
Yes,the teams get a more uniformed and smoother surface making the car more Areo dynamic.The old painting then apply a vynal number caused a ';lip'; that would break up air flow.A few of the lower budget teams still paint their cars.
Yes, it's true.
Yup, its vinyl not paint. Though in the early days of NASCAR it was paint but gradually became vinyl. The last instance that I recall that paint was used on a modern day NASCAR (now the 'Car of Yesterday') was Jeff Gordon %26amp; Jimmie Johnson's entrys in the 2006 Daytona 500. But that was a 1 race deal. No special event as the reason why just trying to get any kind of aerodynamic advantge they could was the reason I heard.
yeahh.
Most of the cars have a basic paint job applied just for the main colors, but the graphics are all vinyl decals. Paint weighs much less than vinyl does.
Like the others said yes they do.





BUT, in some cases at Superspeedways like at Dega and Daytona. Teams will go with paint, because some times they believe it might give a small, (very small) aerodynamic advantage.





Case in point Gordon last year at the Superspeedways.
yeppppppp


the paint would pill off ahaha
ihateyou go play with dolls rather than try to answer simple questions that you know nothing about
Yep. They do that so teams can bring an extra car, leave it painted white, and say it's JGR, if Denny Hamlin ends up totaling two cars, they just have to throw the decals on the car and it's a Fed/Ex car, but they could do the same whether it was for Stewart or Busch. Very smart. Some teams think it helps with Aerodynamics too.

dupli color paint is not very good, if you,ll clean it real good and use a brand called sems,on it this will stay on it,but getting it clean is the key to any of it lasting,i have never had any of the sems brand come off yet,and the door panels on my truck are painted with it,and that's been about 5 years ago,and they still look as good as they did when i sprayed them,find that brand ,and it will stay on it,good luck with it.Interior vinyl %26amp; fabric paint?
Flat on the dash for glare.Guess you didn't prep it as it should of stayed.Wipe it with something that cuts it.To get the oil %26amp; wax off an repaint it. That paint is for covering same color not much luck on changing colors???

Painting Vinyl Wallpaper with Kitchen Paint...?

we rent our house and currently have limited funds so I was wondering if i can paint the Kitchen wallpaper? theres bathroom n kitchen paint in B%26amp;Q but it says its matt paint, would this work?Painting Vinyl Wallpaper with Kitchen Paint...?
If you try to paint vinyl or any shiny paint with emulsion it will slip all over. First you need to either apply a water-based primer like Bullseye 1-2-3 or prime-it plus carefully or an oil-based undercoat, either applied carefully with a 4 inch foam roller so it doesn't slide around everywhere. Then you can emulsion as normal. There are not many bathrooms where matt paint is ideal, but a water-based satin or eggshell would resist condensation better.





The best paint in a bathroom is Dulux quick-drying eggshell, but it is an arm and a leg. Apart from the aforementioned undercoat, try and stay away from putting oil-based paints on walls.Painting Vinyl Wallpaper with Kitchen Paint...?
Vinyl wallpaper is far less porous than wallpapers made from paper or fabric. Because it's vinyl, it's easier to install and cleans up with a damp cloth. But like other wallpapers, vinyl wallpaper can be difficult to remove. If you want to paint your wall without removing the vinyl wallpaper, you need to alter the integrity of its surface. You need to prepare the vinyl so that it will accept both primer and paint. Otherwise, the paint will ';thin'; and the wallpaper will show through.





Things You'll Need:


Razor-edged roller tool


Fine-grit sandpaper


Primer


Paint


Short nap roller and painting supplies





Wash the surface of the wallpaper with a degreaser. Clean it with a cotton cloth or sponge and rinse the degreaser off using clean water. Dry with a cloth and let dry for one to two hours.





Step 2Score the wallpaper. Scoring the paper will break the surface tension. You can do this with a commercially available product such as Paper Tiger, or you can improvise and use a ravioli cutter or similar tool. You need a razor-edged roller to roll over the paper. Use broad strokes; you do not need to score every inch of the surface.





Step 3Lightly sand the wallpaper with fine-grit sandpaper. Do not use a sander. Just as you did to score the surface, use broad strokes, just enough to break down the surface. Wipe clean with a cotton cloth.





Step 4Apply a coat of quality primer to the wall. If you are painting the wall a dark, rich color, tint the primer to a shade two or three shades lighter than your paint color. Allow the primer to dry for 24 hours. If you are applying a light-colored paint and the wallpaper is dark, apply a second coat of primer for better coverage.





Step 5Apply a coat of quality flat or semi-gloss paint to the wall. Use a short nap roller to apply the paint, as the wallpaper surface, even with the primer, is more like a smooth wall than a textured wall. Allow the paint to dry for 24 hours before applying a second coat.
I think it would be ok - the bathroom and kitchen paint from Band q is very good.





Maybe best to test it first on a small section, and be prepared to give it a couple of coats.





If needed - best to wash the paper down first


with sparse amount of water and soap.
