Changing Colors On Hot Springs

[wwillie]

just bought a used 2005 Hot Spings Vangaurd and want to change the color of the synthetic siding. Is it hard to take off the cabinet sides or should I tape off the tub and paint or stain while on the tub? Would spraying or brushing be better? Thanks!

I would paint/stain it while its still on the tub which I've done a couple times without issue but the synthetic siding may not take too well to just any paint/stain so pick a small section on the back side to test out your paint/stain and let it dry before you decide if you like it.

Make sure you use an appropriate primer and prep the surface.

Call your dealer or the factory - there is a specific primer which gets the job done correctly. They can give you the name/number of the product for you to buy locally.

How much would it cost to replace the siding with new from the factory?

Im curious if one could expect a quality,long lasting finishing by restaining the perma wood? Does it really work well? or should one only consider it if the siding is in bad shape? (The tub doesn;t really match, but the finish is in good shape, do you keep it as is, or put a crappy stain on it, that looks worse but at least it matches?)
