Tips for Painting Hardie Plank Siding

It is essential to the outcome of your residential painting project that only professional-grade paint be applied to Hardie siding. This specialty siding would also benefit from a paint that has been created for masonry products and solutions. Having your Hardie siding painted can add an extra layer of protection to the exterior of your home as well. In order to achieve the best painting results, we recommend working with our experienced painting contractors. As an added benefit, there is usually less prep work when working with Hardie siding as opposed to traditional wood options.

It is good to note that oil based paint is not the best choice for Hardie siding as it can not adhere as well as a 100% acrylic paint will. Oil based paints can lead to excessive cracking when used on Hardie siding. Here at CertaPro Painters® of Southern Montana, we only trust paint from reputable and long-lasting paint brands like Sherwin-Williams.

How to Paint Hardie Siding

There are a few steps that go into painting Hardie siding. First, you should use a gentle cleaner to remove any dirt or debris. Hardie siding is pre-primed so this step is often skipped. If there are any cracks in the siding, simply seal them with acrylic caulking. Once your painter has followed these steps, it is time to paint the Hardie planks in your desired color. Two coats of paint should be sufficient for an exterior painting service.
