TIP: CHOOSE THE RIGHT TIME TO PAINT

Exterior paint should be applied when the temperature is between 10C and 30C. Under 15C, the paint will not reach optimal hardening. Above 30C, the water contained in latex paint will evaporate too quickly and binding particles will not fuse to produce a durable film. In both cases the paint will eventually crack or peel.

Exterior painting is not recommended when there is a strong wind. Even light breezes may cause the paint to dry too fast and prevent pigments from binding appropriately to the surface.

Do not paint in full sun, as fully exposed surfaces may be 10 to 20 degrees higher (especially when painting aluminum surfaces). North and west surfaces are shaded in the morning, unlike south and east surfaces, which are shaded in the afternoon.

Latex paint may be applied a half hour after rain if the surface is dry to the touch, while alkyd paint must absolutely be applied on deep dry surfaces.
