A Victorian in Santa Barbara got a full exterior repaint in a soft cream, with pale green on the window frames, doors and soffits. All of the wood siding and trim was painted, including the eaves, overhangs and fascia, the window and door casings, the side entry doors and frames, the electrical conduit on the trellis and the trash enclosure.
The wood window frames and screens, the entry door and its frame, and the entry patio and rear soffits were painted pale green.
How we did it
-
Pressure wash
Dust, dirt and failing paint were washed off all the surfaces, and the debris and loose paint cleaned up.
-
Prep the surfaces
All loose and failing paint was removed and bare spots were spot primed with a multipurpose primer for adhesion. Open gaps and joints were caulked, damaged siding was repaired with wood filler or Bondo, patches were sanded to match the existing texture, and all enamelled surfaces were scuff sanded so the topcoat would stick.
-
Paint the siding
The wood siding body got two coats to achieve the colour change.
-
Paint the eaves, overhangs and fascia
One coat on the wood eaves, overhangs and fascia.
-
Paint the railings and posts
One coat on the wood railings and posts.
-
Paint the windows, casings and screens
Two coats on the screens and one coat on the wood windows and casings.
-
Paint the entry doors and frames
Two coats on the entry doors and frames.
-
Conduit, soffits and trash enclosure
The electrical conduit on the trellis was sprayed after sanding and priming, the entry and rear soffits were painted, and the trash enclosure’s picket fencing was prepped, primed and given two coats.
