I painted my house a couple years ago. I patched the cracks with a elastomerit(not sure if it is spelled properly) caulk. Then I painted the first coat with a hydroseal primer. Then the second coat with a top of the line paint by I C I Paint. I also tinted the hydroseal primer to the finish coat and it looks great and don't leak. Before painting I pressure washed the house first and pulled the grass back exposing the foundation. If you hire these Jack legs out here that paint your house in one day you will not get the performance (protection) the paint has to offer. -----Thats why I did it myself.
