with a high-pressure jet of water is OK to leave in place and paint over -- with primer first, of course? Or does it still need a good scraping and/or wire-brushing? Perce |

Or does it still need a good scraping and/or wire-brushing? It needs scraping. I just power-washed a wall. and only part of the loose paint came off. A ton more came off with the scraper. If you use the power washer enough to get _all_ the loose paint off, you'll damage the wood. Note: Wait a few days before priming to let the wood dry out. Absolutely ditto to what Steve said. |
