How Do I Paint a Previously Painted Gloss Exterior Wooden Surface?
Painting over gloss paint on doors, windows, gutterings, downpipes and fences isn’t difficult, but it does require some time to produce a clean and consistent finish. Start by lightly sanding the gloss paint and then cleaning the surface so you can remove the glossy surface that makes it difficult for paint to adhere to. Then, apply a base coat of Tikkurila's Ultra Primer or Otex Adhesion Primer to help your paint stick to the surface.
Topcoat Options
- Ultra Matt
- Ultra Classic
- Valtti Opaque
- Unica Semi-Gloss Enamel
- Unica Akva
- Miranol
- Everal Aqua 10, Everal Aqua 40 or Everal Aqua 80, depending on the sheen level required
Use at least 2 coats of paint, and allow each coat to fully dry in between applications.
