I've never been a fan of my shed and I felt it was an eye-soar. I have a nice view of the trees, its calming, many birds visit. But the beige color just stood out and I wanted a warm comfortable feel in the overall yard.

Since I've been mostly home this spring, it was a good time to tackle this project with some paint and much needed yard work.

I have seen a few residences in the city and businesses painted black and love the contrast with its surroundings. Really any color looks great with it, even the backdrop of the woods, greens and browns, which I have in my yard. I choose Ben Moore Black 2132-10, and had it color matched at my local Lowe's store with a flat exterior primer & paint combo. 1 gallon of paint covers 400 sq ft typically, so I needed 2 gallons.

After doing some research, most exterior paints will apply to vinyl siding just fine. Just needs some prep work of cleaning it well, spray wash with water and a little bleach to remove any possible mold. After a day to dry, I started to paint. I was really happy the way it went on, I just needed 2 coats.
