Another large Fishers exterior painting project

Ryan and I finished another large painting project in Fishers. It was all the soffits, overhang, shutters (16) gutters, steel doors (3), front porch, and large car garage door. It took us five days and included some difficult areas to reach on steep roof lines and peaks. We used Sherwin Williams Duration for most of the project.

Challenges:
1 - matching current color of shutters and front door;
2 - painting some of the high areas on roof lines; and
3 - prepping the front porch railing and spindles.

Steps:
1 - pressure washed all the trim, shutters, gutters, and some of the siding;
2 - prepped a lot of the trim that included using our paint eater and electric sander;
3 - primed all areas that had bare wood;
4 - painted (with brush and mini-roller) soffits, overhangs, and fascia boards with SW Duration;
5 - sprayed car garage door and 2 steel doors with our Graco large sprayer;
6 - sprayed all vertical gutters; 
7 - sprayed front steel door with custom made color; and
8 - painted shutters with custom made color.
