Supplies
Take off things that are in the way (the more you take off the better the paint job will come out - but it takes time)
Dye or Stain the Shingles
Paint everything one coat
Sand everything until the paint is smooth, transparent, and some of the wood is showing through
Second-coat everything (the outside)... Everything that gets glued back onto the house should be fully painted
Re-attach the outside details
