Default Painting exterior of house & Downspouts

Someone gave me a good suggestion today...paint the downspouts to match the trim of the house.

Been doing that for decades. Blends in nicely. Good luck.

Had our outside painted this past March 2020 and had all other attachments also. Painter only did up to bottom of band on top.

Send PM if you wish to see. We love ours.

Looks Great

OP, make sure you use the correct paint for painting the METAL downspouts, saw a house recently where they did not and the gutters and downspouts looked horrible. You should be able to get the same color, just in a different paint, or make sure that the 'huose' paint is suitable for use on metal.
