The quality of the paint used on vinyl siding is important. Because the siding panels may have a slick surface, you need a paint that has superior adhesion characteristics. A top quality acrylic latex paint will provide that adhesion. Oil-based paints are not recommended for use on vinyl siding.
There are some other things you shouldn't do when painting vinyl siding:
Don't scrape, sand or use a wire brush when doing surface preparation. This can permanently damage the siding Don't paint the siding any darker than its original color. Dark paints will absorb the heat of the sun and can cause the panels to warp. They cannot go back to their original shape, and will be ruined.Can vinyl sising be painted,what kind of paint do i use?
Sherwin williams makes a paint that is multi purpose..the ';Super paint'; label or the ';duraation'; label will both do great....Check out the paragraph below copied and pasted from the link below it..
Vinyl
Before painting vinyl siding, scrub with a warm, soapy water solution, rinse thoroughly and allow plenty of time to dry. Be alert for mildew as well; if present, use a bleach solution to eliminate prior to painting. Priming is not generally necessary if you use Duration or Sherwin-Williams SuperPaint Exterior Latex. Use one coat of Duration or two coats of SuperPaint. Apply with a brush, roller or sprayer as the job parameters dictate.
If the surface of the vinyl remains slick and ultra-smooth after you've cleaned it with a strong detergent, you'll need to use a bonding primer such as Sherwin-Williams PrepRite Bonding Primer to achieve quality results.
