• Protective measures
• To be able to paint the exterior house, you need
  to put up scaffolding. To protect sensitive areas
  from staining by mortar or paint, mask the areas
  with painter's foil and masking tape.
• This is especially true for
• Window
• Doors
• Ventilation flaps
• Doorbells
• Lamps
• If you have the house painted, the master painter
  usually brings his scaffolding and you have no
  extra costs for it. If you are the one doing
  exterior house painting by yourself, you have to
  calculate a scaffolding rent or buy it. If you
  need someone to set up and level, you will have
  to add other extra charges.

Cleaning and repairs You should remove dirt and
moss with a high-pressure cleaner before exterior
painting. In the case of unreasonable stains from
algae, a special green film remover also helps to
clean the facade. After the cleaned house the
wall has completely dried, then take a close look
at the plaster. If it flakes off in some places,
use a chisel to widen the brittle area a little
and fill the open area with mortar.  For large
areas, instead of the mortar, choose the original
plaster with which your facade is plastered. Fill
very fine cracks with acrylic.

• Check plaster
• Now you can start to examine the exterior wall in
  detail
• Does it have dirt or moss?
• Is the plaster crumbling?
• Is the paint peeling in some places?
• If the exterior wall passes this review without
  any irregularities, you can start priming the
  wall. Otherwise, you have to complete important
  work steps before you pick up the brush.

Prime the exterior wall if necessary If your
house wall soaks up water or sand immediately,
you must apply a primer to the facade before
painting the exterior. Otherwise, the plaster
will absorb the colour unevenly and the painting
result will appear spotty. Apply the primer with
a wide or flat brush. Be generous with the primer
and there will be no problems applying the paint
later. Once you have completed these preparations
and the house wall is dry, you can paint the
facade. Priming the facade costs around
0.07-0.10/ft for the worker. If you apply the
primer yourself, you will pay around 200 for the
material.

Choose the right colour for the exterior
painting A house exterior wall should withstand
wind and weather and at the same time be
permeable to water vapour. If you paint the
exterior wall, you have to use a colour that is
strong and permeable to diffusion. Read here to
choose the right colors for the
house. Dispersion silicate paints have proven
themselves for outdoor use. But, consult with the
expert exterior painter to see if the paint is
right for your home. It is not compatible with
every surface. If you have the exterior painted,
the costs for a simple coat of paint including
paint are 15 to 20 dollars per square meter.
Pre and final coat You need to plan two passes
for the exterior painting Aqueous
primer Colour-concentrated top coat You have to
mix the thin liquid mixture for the primer and
paint and water. The water content should be ten
to fifteen percent. The concentrated topcoat, so,
is mixed with water up to most of five
percent. Carefully mix the paint for both the
undercoat and the topcoat with a paddle mixer.
Otherwise, the colour pigments will be
distributed unevenly in the dispersion. The
result the paint becomes uneven.

Exterior painting Start the exterior painting by
painting the corners and edges of the outer wall.
The best way to do this is to use a brush. If
these are painted, the painter's role comes into
play. But be careful If too much time passes
between applying the edge paint and painting
the surface, the paint will already have dried on
the edges. Then stripes quickly form. For this
reason, you should make sure to always paint a
house facade wet-on-wet. After the primer has
dried, apply the topcoat to the facade using the
same technique.
