Diy painting metal gutters.

Place over the hole. If you are not comfortable working on heights the best solution is to remove the gutter section by section and paint it on the safety of your grounds. Leave the gutters where they are only if you feel 100 comfortable and have performed a diy job before. A plastic putty knife is ideal as it will not scratch the.

Strip off the old paint with a plastic putty knife. Sand the gutters with a medium. Apply paint stripping chemicals. If you have a gutter patch you can use it.

The key to a long lasting paint job is to prime the gutters before painting them. Apply gutter paint as an even layer of paint on the primed gutter. Use your putty knife and apply the asphalt flashing cement to the back of the piece you just cut or your patch. Work in sections painting the inside of the gutter as well as the outside.

Make sure your primer is ammonia free as a primer with ammonia could react with the aluminum causing gas bubbles to occur between the layers. If the old paint is really caked onto the gutters you can use paint stripping.
