![]() The fellow at LOWE’S in the paint section asked if the siding was JH. It was pointless and I needed to do way too much touch up in other areas also. The tiny bottle of paint provided with the siding was a total joke, so I didn’t bother. I took in a leftover piece of my JH siding (coincidentally to LOWE’S) to ask if they could help. The orginal paint on the JH siding was coming off (almost bubbling/lifting) then flaking off exposing the raw material underneath. We had an area where there was no rain gutter where water fell from the roof and “splashed, splashed, splashed” on one area of the siding near the garage. Our home as built in 2007 and we were selling it in 2012. Ok, that’s the end of posts that don’t apply to most of my readers, I swear. Or, I should say, when Amazing Dave fixes my car for me.) ![]() This has totally saved us when doing minor body work ourselves. (In other news, did you know that you can also get a can of spray paint that matches your car exactly from a NAPA Auto Parts store? Just tell them your make and model and color, and they can mix it up. And so, in a move that ended up being much easier than we anticipated, we brought our siding to Lowe’s, and the paint department called Valspar, who gave them the formula numbers for our paint color (Mountain Sage), and then Lowe’s mixed us up a gallon of paint that matches our siding exactly. We wanted more paint, especially so we could paint the backs of some pieces of siding that will be above our porch rooves and may get covered in snow for months at a time.ĭave noticed that the touch-up paint is from Valspar, and that Lowe’s stocks Valspar paint. You can get touch-up paint for it (to paint the edges, or in case you nick the siding or something), but it comes in this tiny stupid little bottle, the applicator clogs up, and it’s expensive. The stuff is great, and it’s so satisfying to put up the siding and be DONE and not have to go back and paint it. We’re (slowly) residing our house in prefinished Hardieplank siding.
