Diy Painting Metal Gutters

Use your putty knife and apply the asphalt flashing cement to the back of the piece you just cut or your patch.

Diy painting metal gutters. Work in sections painting the inside of the gutter as well as the outside. Strip off the old paint with a plastic putty knife. Place over the hole. If not cut a patch from the metal flashing that is just a bit bigger than your hole with your metal snips.

Leave the gutters where they are only if you feel 100 comfortable and have performed a diy job before. The key to a long lasting paint job is to prime the gutters before painting them. Use an oil based metal primer and apply it per the product s directions. Apply gutter paint as an even layer of paint on the primed gutter.

After the primer has fully dried to create the ideal painting canvas grab the brush and stir the paint. Make sure your primer is ammonia free as a primer with ammonia could react with the aluminum causing gas bubbles to occur between the layers. If the old paint is really caked onto the gutters you can use paint stripping. If you are not comfortable working on heights the best solution is to remove the gutter section by section and paint it on the safety of your grounds.

Apply paint stripping chemicals. Sand the gutters with a medium.
