Hello Y'all , this is my first post to this site. I have been lurking and reading and getting practical and helpful advice for the past several months. What a great source for information on all aspects of the consruction trade.
I am working on a bid for an exterior paint job on an 1830 plantation house. The 8 inch lap board is cypress. The owners told me that when they bought the house that there was only one coat of whitewash on the walls. They painted it and in places put on 6 coats of paint. The wood is absorbing the paint like a sponge in many places.There is also some peeling of paint back to the original whitewash. One of my paint suppliers (sells Pittsburg paints) tells me I could use Rez Permanizer Plus to seal the wood, cracks , raised grain and general wear. He says this is the paint industries answer to vinyl siding.Scrap, caulk, use permanizer and quality latex paint and am supposed to get upwards of 15 yrs before repaint.
Okay ,what do ya think? Can anyone give me some feedback , advice or dire warnings against using and selling my customer on this product.
