Fall's a great time to get exterior paint projects finished, but painting in cold, potentially damp weather can lead to issues if you're not careful. I'm Dan Hansen and this is a minute at RepcoLite Paints sponsored by Benjamin Moore.
To help you avoid any issues on your late season exterior paint projects, here are some things to keep in mind.
First: Temperature. We stock a lot of exterior waterbased paints that can be applied in temps as low as 36 degrees--but that's not just just air temps. The surface temp is equally critical. If you're looking for an easy rule of thumb: just make sure the surface and air temps are 40 degrees or above and you'll be fine.
Second thing to keep an eye on is the weather: If there's rain in the forecast in the next 24 hours or so, hold off on your project. Unless you use Benjamin Moore's Element Guard. Element Guard is unique in that it offers extreme early moisture resistance. In fact, Element Guard is moisture resistant 60 minutes after application. Element Guard is a game-changer for late season painting. We'll keep going tomorrow. I'm Dan Hansen and that's a Minute at RepcoLite.
