Exterior painting tips from University of Illinois Extension
L Annah Abbott advises painting only in mild dry weather and avoiding oil base paint below 40 degrees or above 90. Start after dew evaporates, work from top to bottom, and finish one wall before starting another. For windows and doors, mask glass with wet newspaper and clean edges with petroleum jelly after painting.
