Best way to paint peeling porch ceiling?
I've got a screened-in porch on my 11-yr old house, and was attempting to
re-paint the ceiling. As I was rolling on the paint, the old paint starting coming off on the roller. Upon inspection the old paint is barely attached to the drywall ceiling. I'm able to peel the old paint and drywall tape away. I'm wondering if there was no primer applied to the drywall and/or interior paint was used. Also it looks like drywall tape was used over the joint compound, but no mud was used over the tape. In any case, I've now got a ceiling that has large sections of drywall exposed, missing drywall tape (so joint compound is exposed), and sections where the old paint is still sticking somewhat okay. What's the best way to get the ceiling to a paintable condition? Am I going to have to chip away at the old paint or is there a product that will bind to the old paint and keep it from peeling away from the drywall. Perhaps a primer since I'm going to have to re-prime the exposed drywall anyway? I've got Behr exterior latex paint that I was using before the old paint started peeling away, I've never had a problem with Behr before but could it be the cause? |
