I try to stay away from all exterior work so I'm not up to speed on this one.
I'd like to stay with BM because I sub for them and can get a best price there but if something's better I'll go there.
The house is 1980 +/-, stucco over block and still wearing the original paint. The paint is flaking off of some of the sills on the south and west side. The house appears to have been primed? sealed? with a semi transparent green something...????? My intention is to pressure wash, prime and paint.
Questions: Is there a primer that will bond (penetrate)what is left of the old paint?
What is the best topcoat?
I'm looking for the best, not cheapest.
