A new topcoat peeling from sound older paint calls for investigation of recent preparation, contamination, compatibility, and application conditions.
Remove all loose, lifting, bubbling, and poorly adhered paint.
Field practiceFor the older, peeling coating condition in the original pilot, I particularly favor an oil-based exterior wood primer.
Field practiceEven with some bubbling or peeling, I can usually remove the loose paint, sand and feather the edges, and repaint over the sound coating.
Remove loose paint from failing areas and feather the remaining edges so the repair blends into the surrounding coating. Preserve door profiles and molded details while sanding. Remove sanding dust before proceeding.
If the surrounding coating starts lifting or the damage spreads, stop and reassess the repair rather than continuing to rub.
Peel it back carefully and inspect the exposed area.
Where removal has torn the drywall's paper facing, remove loose or lifting fragments first. The remaining surface must be sound enough to repair. Do not apply wet patching compound directly over ragged, unsealed facing.
This exception does not apply to loose, bubbling, or peeling wallpaper.
Neither a conditioner nor a primer turns loose paint or unstable stucco into a reliable substrate.
For light sand-finish stucco, comparable in texture to orange peel, I typically use a 1/2-3/4-inch nap.
On previously coated aluminum, also look for peeling, checking, bubbling, and other paint failure.
