| It is better for both the painters and the paint itself to not paint on a super hot summer day; pick Spring! |
There are plenty of good reasons to paint pronto, some of which are simply a matter of common sense.
Here are briefly some of the reasons why exterior painting should be first on your "Spring To-do List":
- First, the weather is most comfortable now.
- Second, it’s smart to paint before putting down your mulch, which along with your plants, will just get trampled if you paint later on.
- Third, why not get your painting done before more pleasant “distractions” like vacations, sports, and barbecues begin?
Another reason to get to your painting first:
Exterior latex paint forms the toughest, most durable, protective finish when the weather is neither too cold, nor too hot, but just right. . .like it is in the Spring.
It’s always best to do exterior painting when temperatures are above 50 degrees F., but not too extreme. Very hot days can cause the paint to dry too quickly and impair good paint film formation. By painting in moderate temps, odds are you may get a longer-lasting paint job.
Pick a day that’s not windy to paint. Like the heat of the sun, wind can cause latex paint to dry too quickly and prevent optimal paint film formation. Plus, wind can stir up dust and other contaminants that can imbed in the paint to create an inviting surface for mildew, which feeds on such matter.
