How can I extend the life of my exterior paint?

Extend the Life of your Exterior Paint

To extend the life of your paint job: Never start an exterior painting project without proper preparation, such as thorough cleaning of the surface, removal of old peeling paint and use of primer if required. An oil based (alkyd) primer is generally preferred for exterior surfaces.

Proper preparation will prevent the need to repaint right away.
