Thank you,James use a quality primer (like Zinser bulls-Eye, 123) then your choice of paint.source: deep brown, deep brick red, some bright orange, blue and indigo, house with dogs...

You'd hate to knock down the existing structure and then find out you can't build what you want to build.That said, if the numbers you provided are accurate, #2 sounds like the better choice (in my opinion)...
