Planning Exterior Painting Around Rainy Weather

A practical guide to scheduling exterior painting when the forecast can change quickly.

A step-by-step way to prepare for an exterior repaint, from goals and colors to schedule.

Match the coating and sheen to the surface, room, desired look, and manufacturer guidance.

Know what to look for and when visible paint problems need a closer inspection.

Small paint repairs can be useful, but matching sheen, color, texture, and age can be difficult.

Coating life depends on the surface, preparation, exposure, product, application, and care.

Paints are formulated for different environments. Choose a product intended for the surface and conditions.

Simple, product-aware care can help keep painted rooms and exteriors looking their best.
