Why would you do that? I can get caulk that matches my wall paint

It is my opinion that painting the caulk is a better and more seamless
job. If caulking after the fact with a custom mixed caulk floats your
boat then keep right on paddling. Its not an option we have ever chosen
nor one we would ever.


It's not exactly custom mixed. It's a standard caulk color. The guys
who put in our shutters said they get it in 55-gal drums. I buy it
off the shelf in a somewhat smaller put-up.

I think it looks pretty nice, to be honest. No gap, no color change,
minor texture change, uniform bead. It seems to handle temperature
change better than paint does, too.
