Can You Paint Vinyl Siding?

One of the advertised perks of vinyl siding is that it doesn’t need to be painted. But does that mean it can’t be painted? What if your vinyl siding is in good condition but just looks a little faded? What if you’ve just replaced your roof and the new color doesn’t go with your siding as well as you expected? Does that mean you have to turn around and invest in a siding replacement to restore the harmony in your home’s exterior décor?

Fortunately for many homeowners, vinyl siding can be repainted, and there are many situations in which it makes sense to do so. In fact, some experts say repainting your vinyl siding is likely to cost significantly less than what you’d pay for a siding replacement. However, experts also warn that repainting vinyl siding is a tricky business. There are many factors to consider, including the appropriate weather conditions for painting vinyl siding, the type of paint that will adhere to it, and whether you need to be concerned about voiding any warranty protection that may be in effect.

What’s more, color selection—a crucial element in any exterior home painting project—is especially important when it comes to vinyl siding. For example, dark colors absorb more heat than lighter colors and may not be the ideal choice for vinyl siding, especially if your siding was manufactured with a lighter color.
