It is important to make sure that the surface is properly prepped before painting. This includes cleaning the exterior walls, scraping off any loose or peeling paint, filling in cracks, and sanding down rough surfaces. It is also important to use a primer on the surface to ensure a smooth finish when painting. Additionally, you should cover all outdoor furniture and fixtures with plastic tarps or painter’s cloths.
