Hiyas
We moved in 1 year ago and the last owners must have slapped unsuitable paint on the rendered wall that borders the lawn/patio as it's coming off in sheets. Behind the wall are raised beds/soil/plants.
Am unsure what can be done. I can't see the wall ever fully drying as there's soil behind it.
Obv I need to start by removing all the old paint. A lot is peeling off but some is still OK so need a way of removing that before it starts to peel.
There are some patches of rust where the wall was cornered..... can these be treated then painted over or do I need to treat and put more render on?
Finally it needs repainting. Is there a product I can put straight on or will it need priming with something to make the paint stick? Or a diluted mixture 1st coat to soak in?
Any comments or suggestions very welcome. Also, as this wall probs isn't going to fully dry ever, can it be painted after a few dry days?
Will try and post a pic...... yeah like that's gonna work........
Thank v much for looking
