    folks,

    could anyone guess at how long it would take to paint this house ?
    Top half pebble dash area only

    Also any idea what a pro might charge ( I do realize this is the diy section )

    thanks
    Rob

    Why do you want to paint it ? Looks fine from the picture.

    depends if you spray or use a brush.
    Spray - 5 hours
    Brush - 2 days

    Has it ever been painted before? It looks like a lovely permanent finish to me.
    If it is a permanent finish & you paint it, it'll need painting every few years. Ignore the 10 or 15 years you see on the tin.

    lovely is not a word I would use !

    I would be doing it by brush and knap roller.

    I agree it looks like its gonna be a pain but I just cant look at it any more !

    Maybe I'll just get the pros round

    Could do with a freshen up for sure.
    All white would be my choice.
    Is there a side wall there on the left to do also - the side of neighbours front extension or shed?
    If you gave yourself a weekend, you would do that at your ease.
    It's a tiny area.
