- 1). Use the wire brush to remove the peeling paint. Though you won't remove it all, try to get as much of it off as possible. This is key to preserving the remaining paint on your home. However, be forewarned this can be a tedious process, so though you should get as much of it off as you can, don't spend hours doing so.
- 2). Clean the area around the paint with a mix of ammonia and water. This will not only help to make it look better, but also remove dirt, grease or anything else that might be stopping the paint from continuing to adhere to the home. Rinse thoroughly, as the moisture itself is another culprit in causing exterior paint to peel.
- 3). Sand the perimeter of the existing paint with the sandpaper. This will create a smooth surface, setting the stage for the sealant application that will follow.
- 4). Apply Peel Stop to the edges of the existing paint. This primer should only be applied when the temperature outside is between 50 and 90 degrees. Use a paintbrush, roll or sprayer to apply the product. Get it in all of the cracks of the old paint to prevent future peeling. Once the first coat dries, apply a second.
- 5). Apply a final primer to the entire surface. However, this should be done only once the Peel Stop has sealed over the existing paint. Then, once the final primer has set, do a final coat of paint to make all of the exterior paint even.
