Things You Will Need
PermaCast columns come in both square and circular designs with a variety of styles, but they all have one thing in common: all PermaCast columns are ready to be painted as soon as they are installed, and require little preparation before painting.
-
Rinse the column surface with a hose or by rubbing the column down with a rag or cloth dampened in clean water. This rinsing will remove dust, dirt or other contaminants from the surface. These contaminants can ruin the way paint sticks to the columns.
-
Prime the column’s surface with a thin coat of exterior latex primer. Apply the primer with a paintbrush or roller. Allow the primer to dry completely before continuing.
-
Apply a thin layer of exterior latex paint to the column with your paintbrush or roller. Allow this first coat to dry completely before applying a second. Apply at least three thin coats of paint for full sealing.
