I see this has been asked here fairly recently, but there weren't a lot of comments. I'd like more input before undertaking the monumental task of painting 40-plus louvered wooden shutters. I am willing to take time to do it right, but I need this effort to last a long time because I think it's going to kill me!
We're in Pennsylvania, a fairly wooded area. Some shutters get full sun, others are in nearly full shade. These shutters haven't been touched in years, but I think they used to be white. I'm definitely going with a black or near black, probably a semi-gloss or satin, unless someone recommends a different sheen.
We do have mildew in the shade, although considering how old the paint job is on the shutters now, it's probably not a terrible problem - it's hard to tell because they're SO filthy.
I'm 50-50 on using a paint sprayer versus painting by hand. I understand sprayers can be tricky and difficult to clean, but produce more even results and faster results. I'd have to buy one or use the very small one I borrowed, which might take more time than painting by hand because of the small container - I'm also not sure it's a quality sprayer because my dad probably bought the cheapest thing he could find. Also, I think the weather will change before I can get this project completed outdoors, so I need to consider the difficulty of using a sprayer inside and having space to do a lot of shutters in a single day to avoid repeatedly cleaning a sprayer. I'm already expecting to have to clean them with TSP, sand them, prime them, then paint, but I want the best chance of making the results last.
So...without regard to price, which is longest lasting exterior paint considering brutal sun in very hot humid summers as well as humid shade, plus...snowy, wet winters? (Yea, I know. I should just move.)
Any thoughts on that sheen question, especially in regard to making the paint last as long as possible?
And any advice on spraying versus hand painting, especially considering I have never used a sprayer and might not be able to finish the job outdoors?
Also, I don't intend to remove all the old paint - just take off what's easiest to wash or sand away. Is that OK if I'm going from white to black?
Thanks for any advice!
