    Vinyl Siding can be painted. Just clean the siding by power washing or hand-washing, making sure to remove any mildew with a bleach solution, and rinse.

    The quality of the paint used on vinyl siding is important. Because the siding panels may have a slick surface, you need a paint that has superior adhesion characteristics. A top quality acrylic latex paint will provide that adhesion. Oil-based paints are not recommended for use on vinyl siding.

    You may want to consider why you would want to spend money that you could use to help someone who needs a home, or a vehicle, or maybe just a meal every day in order to paint a house that was designed to be paint free.

    Can you paint vinyl?

    I recall that one of the biggest selling points of vinyl siding was that it never needed to be painted?

    I would check the warranty on the siding first. Painting it will void the warranty. Use the time and money for landscaping and curb appeal instead. Make the color work for you!
