The Manufactured Housing Forums

We have just begun a job as caretakers for an historic chapel in East Texas and have taken up residence in a 1980's (probably) mobile home next door to the chapel. I am wondering if there is anything special to know about painting the exterior of the home as it is so drab looking. I have been in the business of home repairs for 15 yrs., but have never worked on mobile homes. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

If its metal pressure wash and sand it before painting,if Its wood its like anything else as far as prep.

wHAT, IF THE EXTERIOR IS MADE OF PLASTIC ???

Well you can't paint vinyl if thats what you mean.
