Exterior painting
    #16370825 - 06/12/12 01:01 PM (11 years, 9 months ago)

I live in an older house (1972), that I need to repaint.

Originally, the house was "stained", not painted.  I was told that since the house was stained, it would be difficult to paint over without significant prep.  However, I know the house was painted over at least once, because I found the old work receipts for painting (that originated from before I owned the property).

So the question is:

- If the house was painted previously, is the easiest approach to paint again?

I assume that since it was painted last, I should proceed with painting rather than putting in the extra sanding/scraping work to stain.  However, I'm somewhat concerned that if I sand anyway (to prep for paint), it'll expose the stained wood below, which won't accept the paint well.

Metabo and paint shaver make a tool that makes the removal on cedar pretty
easy, it'll take it to raw wood, you;ll have to reprime the wood and do it
with an oil based primer

they arent cheap but it's well worth the money in the time you save because you;re not waiting for an abrasive to do it' thing and replacing a shitload of expensive disks. pick up a few extra carbide bits, you have 8 sides that can be used on each one so you'll get a lot of use out of them but occasionally one will chip

the metabo is around $400, the paint shaver is around $700+ amd looking
around you may find similar tools, for cheaper

Do you think I have to strip it all the way to raw wood?  Some of the painters I've talked to have said to powerwash and lightly sand (to remove loose paint), then just paint from there.

powerwash and test an area on the back of the house. sometimes it works...or sometimes you need to do what prissy said.

if you go prissies route...test for lead and protect yourself accordingly.
