A screen room outside my home has fixed plastic "screens" that are
waterproofed by a thin coating of clear vinyl or similar plastic sheeting.
Portions of the waterproofing layer are flaking off, exposing the
underlying screen grid. I would like to paint about 30 square feet of the
screened area with an opaque paint to match the house trim, as i have seen
done to similar screen rooms in the neighborhood. But none of my
neighbors know how the paint job was done on their homes. I would expect
to sand lightly to remove flaking plastic. What should I use for paint
and how do I apply it to both the intact plastic areas and the porous grid
areas where the plastic has flaked off?
