How Do I Paint a Previously Painted Gloss Exterior Wooden Surface?Updated 2 years ago

Painting over gloss paint on doors, windows, gutterings, downpipes, and fences isn’t difficult, but it does require some time to produce a clean and consistent finish. Start by lightly sanding the gloss paint and then cleaning the surface so you can remove the glossy surface that makes it difficult for paint to adhere to. Then, apply a base coat of Tikkurila's Ultra Primer or Otex Adhesion Primer to help your paint stick to the surface.

Topcoat Options

Ultra Matt

Ultra Classic

Valtti Opaque

Unica Semi-Gloss Enamel

Unica Akva

Miranol

Everal Aqua 10, Everal Aqua 40 or Everal Aqua 80, depending on the sheen level required

Use at least 2 coats of paint, and allow each coat to fully dry between applications.
