Trust me but it's still better than....
-a spray bottle for wet sanding between coats

-primer, paint and clear coat, you will need a LOT more than you think.
The common paint fail issue.

Http and bushes and what not moved farther....
I also would add a mildicide to the paint.
Before pressure washing.
Why are you priming?
If there's no bare wood it should for at least 15 min .
And then priming / painting? BM is good paint.

We just had our ceilings redone and we went ahead and used ceiling paint. There are signs of the paint pulling away. Can I use primer paint to seal the ceiling over the ceiling paint?
