What happens here

Begin by preparing the work area and gathering your paint and tools. The video highlights using Sherwin Williams Latitude exterior acrylic latex paint, which is suitable for various conditions. Note the ambient temperature; in this case, it's 36 degrees Fahrenheit, which requires consideration for paint drying times and personal comfort. Ensure you have the necessary safety gear, such as gloves, especially when working with paint in colder temperatures.

Goal: Gather all necessary painting supplies and understand the working environment's impact on the project.

Tools and materials

  • Extension Pole — Reaching high sections of the fascia from the ground or a ladder
  • Paint Bucket — Holding paint for easy access while working
  • Paint Roller — Applying paint to the fascia
  • Safety Gloves Firm Grip — Protecting hands from paint and cold

What they say

Today, I'm working on a new construction job and we're using show and Williams latitude. It's 36 degrees outside. It's pretty dang cold, but I've been working pretty hard. So I actually took my jacket off. So it doesn't look as cold as it actually is, but it's a sunny day. And I'm using an extension pole to reach this fascia. The builder wanted the roof on right away, and I've got to try to get this fascia.
