I’ve been tasked with the job of repainting my parents house and none of us really know what we’re doing. The house is mostly masonry with a wooden section. I’m guessing that I need masonry paint and some form of wood tint but I have quite a few questions;
Do I need to rub down the house first? (and to what degree)
Is it better to use a roller or a brush etc…?
How many coats?
I need to put a foot of black around the base of the house…how do I mask off the rest of the house that I’ve already painted? Just masking tape and newspaper or will the masking tape peel off the paint?
What’s the best way to mark out the foot high line around the house? – the ground around the house isn’t actually level!
Thanks for any help/tips given!
