Hi,


My house has these circular columns on the front porch. They are made
of plastic. The white paint that is on them is flaking off and
pealing.


I want to use as the top coat Benjamin Moore Alkyd Exterior house
paint to match existing colors.


What is the correct primer paint to use?


Many thanks, Mike.


Use a Benjamin Moore Primer. *As all good paint jobs, proper
preparation is required. *I used BM primer and BM paint over 12 years
ago on my plastic exterior trim and it still looks good. *I added
mildewcide to both primer and paint, because that's a very common
problem in my climate.
