<DIV>Sarah,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Painting with a slightly darker white or tan or yellow or light green
shouldn't be a problem. Stay away from the navy blues, and forest greens. </DIV>

want to paint our vinyl siding, which is looking a bit worn <BR>after
all these years (at least 15).<BR><BR>We've done a little research which has
indicated that we shouldn't <BR>paint it any color that is darker than
its current color (which is <BR>white). This is because vinyl is
manufactured to withstand heat <BR>stress tailored to how much heat the
vinyl will absorb (which depends <BR>on its color.) If you paint it
darker, it absorbs more heat, and may <BR>well warp. But our
painter says that painting it a darker color <BR>shouldn't be a
problem.<BR><BR>Has anyone had experience painting vinyl siding, and if so, do
you <BR>have any recommendations for us?<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>
