exterior stain over exterior paint?
I'm going to be restaining my siding this summer. But the trim
appears to have been mostly finished with paint instead of stain. Can I paint over this with stain instead of paint? Would I have to scrape it down to the wood to do so? |

It's common for the trim to be painted, while the rest is stained, particularly if the trim is a different color. Mu house, the cedar is stained blue, the trim is painted white. If you want to, you could probably put a solid stain over paint, but certainly NOT a transparent stain. Read the label, which should tell you what surfaces it's suitable for. |

Would I have to scrape it down to the wood to do so? I managed a Benjamin Moore Paint Store and I am a "professional house painter". I would recommend that you paint the trim. If it has been painted with a semi-gloss which most exterior trim is, a solid body stain (a good suggestion though) may not stick to it. It's like painting Latex over oil. Be on the safe side.
