Hi all, hope someone can help me out here.
I am going to paint the exterior render of my 1930's semi.
I have taken back the loose and flakey paint that sits on top of the render.
The render itself seems sound - no hollow noises...
My problem is that the render surface is now patchy (approx 0.5mm hollows) and I am assuming that this will show if I paint over it as is.
Do I need to remove all of the existing paint or can I feather the edges in? I'm not sure how thick masonary paint is I guess.

Thanks very much for taking time to have a look at my little problem.
Ant.
