Hi I am painting some timber cladding on the front of my house. While I was preparing it a few bits of old paint came off exposing the timber but on the whole 80/90% of the old paint is sound, just tired looking.
I bought some Sikkens Rubbol XD Gloss and some of the recommended primer to go with it, Sikkens Rubbol Primer Plus. Where should I use the primer i.e. should I prime the lot as it will give a better job or do I just prime the few bare bits?
I was thinking perhaps the proper prime will give a better base for the top coat to bind to rather than some old unknown paint but at the same time I wondered if it was a bit silly priming an already painted surface.
Any advice or help would be appreciated.
