Can you paint plastic siding? If so, do you need a special paint or applicator??

Answer 1

The key to painting vinyl siding is to use a good quality, acrylic latex exterior paint that will be flexible and withstand climate changes, and still provides a good bond to the vinyl siding. A water-based acrylic exterior paint is a good choice because it goes on easily and has leveling properties, so it adheres to both smooth and textured surfaces. Another plus: latex paint makes cleaning up brushes and rollers easy.
The preparation for painting vinyl is extensive, including cleaning the siding with a pressure washer to thoroughly remove debris and dead bugs, and then washing the surface to remove all mildew, mold and tree sap. When it's dry, the paint goes on.
