Coat One in the Making of Cottage Indigo Blue



Imagine my delight when I discovered I could paint my faded powerblue vinyl siding a deep indigo (it's actually darker than pictured). If you haven't heard already, Sherwin Williams offers "VinylSafe(R) technology" that allows you to paint vinyl in shades that normally would cause buckling with regular paint. This color is "Indigo Batik"--it's supposed to be a one-coat application, but the color is so deep that I'll probably have to do two and a half. After 3 days spent on a rickety ladder, I was able to paint one coat on the upper front and one side wall. Yes, the white skirting will be changed and new shutters to come! Progressing and to be continued!

  4. So did this hold up and not buckle over the years?

    1. The place has since been sold, but the paint didn't buckle. That Sherwin Williams VinylSafe held up!
