Can You Paint Vinyl Siding? or Should you replace it?
We can help you transform your home by painting your siding, or replacing it.
Which options is right for you?
If you want to add value to your home and protect it from weathering while keeping it looking fresh, vinyl siding is a great choice. The best thing about Vinyl Siding? It is practically maintenance-free. The only recommended upkeep for vinyl siding involves washing. Power washing easily gets rid of any dirt, mold, and algae attaching itself to your siding.
It really is as simple as that.
The color in vinyl siding goes all the way through the material, so the color does not peel or fade with time.
But what if you want to change the color of your siding?
Is it better to replace it? Or, can you simply paint it?
Replacing Vinyl Siding vs Painting
If you want to change color, painting is your best bet. It will cost you more to replace the siding, but painting will be quicker and easier on your wallet.
Go back few years and you wouldn’t have been able to paint vinyl siding at all. However, there have been a lot of improvements in the paint creation process in the last few years, and now there are several different paints on the market that are able to absorb into and stick to vinyl siding.
Try Googling "Can I paint vinyl siding?"
You'll find that the biggest issue people have with painting siding is that you can't go darker than your existing vinyl color. That’s because the black tint found in most paints traps more heat and is more likely to lead to bubbling and peeling, or warping the vinyl siding itself.
That is where VinylSafe® paint by Sherwin Williams comes in.
The VinylSafe® paints are specially formulated for painting vinyl siding!
Ranges include:
- Emerald®
- Duration®
- Resilience®
- SuperPaint®
Color Ranges
Sherwin Williams VinylSafe® paint gives you the freedom to paint your home in lighter or darker shades without worrying about your vinyl siding peeling or buckling.
There are now over 100 different shades to choose from in the VinylSafe® ranges.
Grays
Gray is an increasingly popular color choice for home exteriors. Modern gray in dark or light combined with brilliant white trim will add a sophistication and style statement to your home. For lighter grays, the VinylSafe® range offers shades such as Wool Sweater, Serpent, or Down Load. But, for a darker elegant look, you might want to try Reptile.
Greens
Green shades can complement your garden if you have a variety of shrubs, bushes, and trees. VinylSafe® offers lighter green shades such as Sea Frost and Backyard. If you prefer blue-green, you might like Hedgerow. If you want to go dark, Green Porcelain is a popular choice and looks great teamed with light green trim.
Beige and Tan
For an inviting and homely exterior, perhaps a warm tan or beige would suit your family home? A darker beige like VinylSafe's Trail Mix or Tea Stain will hide dirt particularly well so you don't have to pressure wash your home as often. Try pairing beige shades with brown, red, and blue trims for a pop of color.
Pale Shades
Pale and off-white shades can offset a beautiful garden or trailing ivy. Very pale neutrals such as VinylSafe® Tortilla or Cotton Sheets make a home exterior look inviting and stylish. The only thing with paler shades is that you will need to pressure wash it more regularly. It’s worth the extra effort, though.
Blues
Why not evoke the mood of the sky or sea with a bright cheerful blue teamed with bright white? VinylSafe® offers a wide range of blues from bold cornflower type blues like Nikko Blue or Steam Ship. Painting your vinyl siding in blue will also hide dirt and algae over time, resulting in less cleaning required.
Pros and Cons of Painting Vinyl Siding
Pros
Painting your vinyl siding means you can update your exterior home color cheaply and quickly. If you use VinylSafe® range of paints, you have a wide choice of colors that will give great coverage and protect your home. You won't need to prime your property before painting in most cases which means you make even further savings. You will extend the life of your vinyl siding if you paint it with VinylSafe®.
Cons
Paint won't cover any damage to your vinyl sidings such as scratches or damage from hail or stones. If your vinyl siding is under warranty, painting may void it. Your warranty may allow you to paint it, as long as you use the right type of paint. Temperature changes could cause the vinyl to slide slightly. This may leave exposed gaps where the siding overlapped.
Pros and Cons of Replacing Vinyl Siding
ProsIf your existing siding is twenty years old, you're probably better off getting it replaced. It will likely have damage from weathering which paint won't cover.
You'll probably add more value to your home by replacing the siding than just painting over it.
Cons
Replacing vinyl siding is more expensive than painting. Unless it's seen better days, you can make significant savings if you paint over. Of course, if you're after a darker shade, VinylSafe offers darker shades in their deep bench of latex-based paints.
If time is an issue for you, getting the siding replaced will take longer than if you paint it.
Final Thoughts
If your budget allows for it and your siding has its fair share of dings, scratches, and scrapes, you might want to go for a complete replacement. If you are on a tighter budget, painting the exterior of your vinyl siding might be the way to go.
Just make sure to properly prepare the siding prior to painting it, and if possible use VinylSafe paints.
And keep in mind, ANY SIDING MATERIAL can be painted, as long as you do proper prep work and use correct paint for your siding painting project.
Either way, whether you go for a replacement or decide to paint, you'll massively improve the look of your home exterior and add value to your property.

- Can You Paint Vinyl Siding?
- 4 Benefits of Repainting
- How to Paint Siding
Vinyl siding is one of the most affordable ways to protect your biggest investment – your house. It is lightweight in comparison to other siding materials and very durable. However, if there is one fault that can be found with it, it’s that it fades over the years.
Heavy gauge vinyl will last upwards of 50 years with very little maintenance. However, UV rays will fade it out over time, giving it a tired, dull look that even power washing can’t renew.
Can You Paint Vinyl Siding?
Yes, you can paint it! 20 years ago, or even 10 years ago, the answer would have been less encouraging, but with today’s high-quality paints, it is entirely possible to freshen and protect your home’s vinyl with a coat of good paint.
Today’s modern paints are higher quality than those of a decade ago, with better bonding agents and more durable pigments. To paint your siding, you will need high-quality acrylic latex paint designed for exterior use. Look for a brand that uses vinyl-safe elements.
Notice: Before you paint, be sure to check the warranty on your siding. Many brands provide a lifetime warranty, but if you alter the vinyl in any way, the warranty is voided and some manufacturers count painting as a form of alternation.
4 Benefits of Repainting Vinyl Siding
When a power wash won’t do the trick anymore, you can either replace or paint old siding to make your home’s exterior look like new again.
1) Affordable
Painting siding is a more cost-effective alternative to completely replacing it. Replacement costs are typically around $20 to $30 per square foot, while painting costs around half of that amount – saving you 50% to 60%.
2) Looks Like New
Besides the cost savings, a fresh paint job will give your siding a factory-new look – much nicer than what power washing can provide. This not only adds an aesthetic element to your home, it improves its value. A beautiful home will sell for more, and the refreshed color will convey the impression that your home is well-maintained.
3) Change the Color of Your Home
Colors come into favor and fall out of favor. In the 1980s, everybody painted their houses with blue fascia and cream soffits.
You can pick a paint color that is different than your current siding to change the color of your home so that it matches your personal design preferences or modern trends. An updated color scheme has better curb appeal and dresses up your neighborhood, which should also make your neighbors happy!
4) Added Layer of Protection
Perhaps one of the most important benefits of repainting is the protection it provides. The latest technologies have been used to develop strong yet flexible paints that will expand and contract with your vinyl, providing the protection it needs from further damage from UV rays. In addition, the underlying layer will be better protected from moisture and insects.
How to Paint Vinyl Siding
Painting is not a difficult task, but it does require the proper equipment and plenty of preparation. There are not any “secret application tricks” to learn because the paint has all of the secrets engineered into it. In fact, painting vinyl actually requires less prep work than painting other types of siding, such as brick, wood or hardboard.
If you have ever painted a wall, then you are already familiar with the mechanics of painting and much of the following will serve as a refresher. We will also outline the considerations specific to painting vinyl that you should keep in mind.
Step 1: Selecting Colors
Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore have great color palettes designed especially for vinyl. As you weigh your choices, remember not to select a dark color. Dark paint absorbs heat, which can make the paint bubble and flake off. It can also warp the planks of vinyl to the point that they need to be replaced.
Sherwin-Williams’ VinylSafe Color Palette and the Colors for Vinyl Siding line from Benjamin Moore have over 100 colors to choose from and are specifically designed for application on vinyl surfaces.
There are some darker shades included in the palettes, but they are engineered to reflect heat rather than absorb it. The VinylSafe line provides colors that are tinted in the Duration, Emerald, Super Paint, and Resilience lines of exterior latex paint.
Step 2: Selecting Paint
You may be able find cheap exterior paint at a hardware store, but your siding requires specially formulated paints to make your efforts worthwhile.
Look for latex exterior paints that contain urethane and acrylic resins. These compounds enable the paint to retain its elasticity and withstand the expansion and contraction of vinyl as it heats up during the day and cools at night. Other paints may crack and flake off over time.
Step 3: Priming
Luckily, vinyl siding typically doesn’t need priming before it is painted. If the surface is severely degraded, such as pitted and porous, or the original color is worn away, you should prime it.
Step 4: Cleaning
Just as your selection of paint is crucial to the success of the project, the cleaning process is also critical. In fact, you’ll probably spend more time cleaning than you will painting.
Simply rinsing the siding with a hose won’t get the job done. You’ll have to scrub off all of the mildew, chalky residue, mold, and any debris from the surface and seams of your siding. If you don’t, the paint will just peel off after it dries.
You don’t have to spend money on expensive professional cleaning chemicals. Just mix laundry detergent, Comet, bleach, and water, and you will have the perfect combination to clean siding:
Create the Cleaning Solution
In your container, which may be your power washer or pump-up garden sprayer, pour in one gallon of water. It is important to put the water in first, because if you add the detergent first, it will foam and expand when you add the water.
Next, pour a quart of laundry bleach into the water, then add two-thirds cup of Comet, Ajax, Bar Keeper’s Friend, or some other powdered cleaner.
Finally, add one-third cup of laundry detergent. This can be either granular or liquid.
Once you have all of the ingredients in the container, mix them well.
If you use a power washer, be careful with the pressure settings so that you don’t damage the siding or peel off paint that is well-attached with the power of the stream. If the siding had been previously painted, you can power wash any peeling paint from the surface.
The best way to clean siding for painting is to use a garden sprayer. Aim the nozzle down, because you don’t want to force water up under the edges of the siding.
Once you have covered the siding with the solution, let it sit for about 10 minutes. Then scrub it with a soft-bristle brush. Rinse the siding well, and allow it to dry thoroughly.
Step 5: Check the Weather
The success of any paint job largely depends on the weather. If it is too hot, the paint will dry too quickly without evening out, giving it a blotchy appearance. If it is too windy, it can blow debris into the paint or dry the surface too quickly, leaving an uneven finish. Paint applied under these conditions can crack and flake off over time.
Look for mild temperatures and low humidity. It is also helpful if the sky is overcast so the sun won’t heat the surface and dry the paint too quickly.
Step 6: Make Sure the Paint Sticks
With the high-quality paints available today, you can find a brand that will adhere to your siding. However, the only way to know for sure is to do a test.
How to do an adhesion test:
Paint a few small sections of siding with 100% acrylic paint. It’s a good idea to apply it to different sides of the house. Let it dry for about 48 hours.
With a utility knife, cut Xs and tic-tac-toe designs in the paint. The cuts should cut all the way through the paint.
Take sections of clear, high-quality, packing tape and press it firmly onto the scored sections. Rub it to make it adhere thoroughly, and then peel the tape off, pulling it at a sharp angle. The objective is to pull off any paint that has chipped loose in the corners.
If there is only a tiny amount of paint on the tape, then it is adhering very well. But, if a lot of paint adheres to the tape, you need to try a different brand.
Step 7: Painting
If the vinyl is peeling and cracked, a primer should be applied first. Then, you can apply the paint.
It is perfectly acceptable to use a paint sprayer to apply 100% acrylic paint. Use the sprayer to coat the surface, taking care to apply the paint evenly. You can also use a roller to apply the paint. Use a brush to paint the edges around windows and doors, and to paint into the corners.
It is better to apply one thin layer of paint and let it dry, and then apply another thin coat than only one thick layer. The second coat needs about 24 to dry completely.
Two coats are usually enough to call the project complete, but if you are not satisfied with the look, a third coat can be applied after the first two have cured.
With proper preparation and good painting conditions, your high-quality paint should look good for 10+ years!
