    Here's what I found:Use a good grade exterior latex, I personally like Olympic for the price and quality. I spray the home with 50/50 outdoor bleach water and then rinse with a garden hose (thanks for this tip Scott & Tony!) Let'er dry good and do your trim work around windows etc with a brush then roll on the paint with a 3/4" nap roller on an extension handle.

    For most homes I've found it takes me about 7 gallons of the main body color and 2 gallons of trim color. I like white or a light tan body from the roof down and trim the shutters and only the top border on older homes, just about any color trim will go with these base colors which makes it a safe bet for those of use who suffer from a lack of color coordination ability.

    Best wishes,

    I'm not certain of the spelling but Crylon is designed for painting metal.
