Repainting Flaking Painted Exterior Tiles - How to Prepare for Repainting?
Posted: Fri Aug 01, 2014 11:30 am
Hello,
I am looking to repaint some exterior tiles on the front of my house (they are in a bay area above the window). They are currently painted but the paint is very cracked and flaky. Does anyone know how I should prepare the surface before repainting? I have tried sanding, but the paint flakes a couple of millimetres thick, and don't come of evenly or easily. I wondered if some sort of paint stripper might be helpful, although I have no idea which sort.
Any thoughts would be helpful! Thanks.
