I painted my house white - but wanted it to be true white but not chalky. No glare. I got lucky with my first try - Snowbound, SW 7004, by Sherwin Williams is a wonderful white.

The next thing I figured out was to focus on what I wanted to happen. Light color gives a larger look, dark color and smaller look, make the stone front more prominent, accentuate certain architectural detail. And the last thing was to look at the adjoining houses and chose a color so that my house fit in with the tone of the ones on either side.<br /><br />One of distinct drawbacks to repainting is that when your new paint starts to come off, in however many years that takes, the under color will show.<br /><br />No way in hell would I repaint. <br /><br />Good luck though.
