Can a DIYer Airless Spray Paint Metal Building? The addition on the house has been done for a while now and is much closer to the metal barn (which houses the DIYTyler shop) then it was before so you noticed the color difference between the vinyl house and the metal commercial style barn color.

We recently rebuilt the shed at the back of the property, which is now the same color as the house.....so....the barn was looking REALLY bad! It is a 30x40 barn with metal siding and trim. The trim was a different color than the trim on the house, and the siding didn't match either. To make matters worse there was a leanto added to the back of the barn that is YET a different color of brown! This had to change!

You can rent Airless spray equipment, where we live a medium duty sprayer is less than $100 for a full day rental.

We decided to paint the metal trim and siding to match the other buildings on the property. Here are the steps we took to transform this barn for about $500!.
1) We began by replacing the man door that was rotting on the bottom due to water damaged before we put a gutter on the barn. This was $200 all by itself!
2) We then removed those gutters as they were the correct color and had no need to paint them. 3) Removed an rust on the metal siding using a wire wheel on an angle grinder, there was not much but a few spots mostly on the seams.
4) Powerwashed the entire barn using Simple Green House and Siding cleaner and our Greenworks 2300psi Electric power washer. https://bit.ly/3jrpvaB'>https://bit.ly/3jrpvaB
5) We then used Rustoleum rusty metal primer to prime these areas to prevent rust from starting again. This primer cost about $15.
6) Then painted the trim a dark brown using Sherwin williams Super Paint (all super paint cost me $300) which is an outdoor waterborne paint that is perfect for painting metal that already has paint on it. We sprayed the trim using a Graco TC Pro cordless airless paint sprayer.
7) Masked off the Trim we just painted using Sharp Lines tape (3M) and masking paper.
8) Painted the metal siding using tan Sherwin Williams super paint. Sprayed 6 gallons of this paint using a Graco ProX17 sprayer, took me about 4 hours to finish all the painting.
9) Remove masking right after you have coverage otherwise the paint will dry on the tape and you could peel paint up.
10) Clean up and sit back and admire the transformation!

We do have some new graphic apparel and some very sweet hats available from Key Apparel! They have a full line of work clothing as well. https://linktr.ee/DIYTyler'>https://linktr.ee/DIYTyler
