Nice weather tomorrow.... hopefully!? I will be painting an external portico. The present paintwork is in a very sorry state. Flaky paint in a nutshell. Exposed areas of underlying ply. Approximately equal to 2 full 8x4 sheets of ply in area edged with timber battons. I think that a belt sander should make light work of the flakes but what I would appreciate is any helpful hints in prepping/undercoating the timber. Quick drying is a must as it's got to be done in a day as I will be back on the regular work come Tuesday first fixing a bathroom and kitchen (plumbing) The day job.
The colour is a deep Oford Blue but a high gloss finnish is not what I want. Equivalent deep blue colour but a much less shiny finish.
Roller... undercoat and similarly roller blue finishing colour. Time is of an essence.
Thanx aniticipation.... LOAF
