Should I Prime These Soffits Or Just Paint?

Mr. Mike

I always find out if we are going to be changing the color before we give someone a price, If there is no color change and I am to match the colors the we put in writing that we are going to "Install" Aura exterior finish to all painted surfaces on the house house. (Install: means we will coat all surfaces until all paint is uniform and coverage is achieved.) I put that () phrase or one pretty close to it on every exterior bid that we do. If this Install starts a new trend I want some credit for it.

I also put the same thing if there is a color change and two coats will be needed but I do charge more of course to go around the house twice. However there is no more days where I have to charge the customer for extra coats, this is great for them because I ensure them it will not be any more money.

Mike,
Why do you use Aura instead of Permanizer? You are in the heart of Porter country.

Mr. Mike

I don't like Permanizer, seems runnier and does not cover as well as duration or Aura. The raw wood will for sure need a second go over with this product, also a real BS part of that paint is, it says not for windows or doors but duration and aura can go on everything.

Damn, maybe I should read the can. I use it on windows because it doesn't crack over fresh glazing.

thanks for the input.
