Outdoor finishing advice

[mike9]

I want to refinish the fan and wainscoting but not sure how to tackle it. I was going to scrape, sand and then fill but not sure which filler is best for outdoors. Should I prime before I paint and what paint has the most durability for outdoor.  Iam going to keep it white and the area isn't prone to weather.

This is a good exterior wood filler. I don't see any areas that would require epoxy repairs.

Prime with SW Multi Purpose.

Emerald or Duration for paint.

Tom,

I started scraping the wainscoting but I  feel iam losing the battle. Iam thinking of using clean strip to take more of the paint off because I dont like the crackle I see as I scrape it. I tried the ro90 but it's not really touching it, the paper loads fast as well. Any other suggestions or just good old elbow grease. Thanks.

  Which abrasive are you using for the RO90?
At any rate, a heat lamp system or a heat gun and a scraper might be where you end up getting the fastest results.

40 grit granat. I started using the heat gun and its going well. The wainscoting was originally painted so I know I won't get it all off. Iam thinking of still using the kleen strip and a wire brush to get the profile area.

. There you go!!! Then follow behind it with 60 or 80 grit Granat( at this point maybe 40 is now too coarse?)

Unless the adhesion of the existing coating is poor you don't necessarily have to sand to raw wood. Sand with 60 grit and feather the edges wherever the paint is peeling. Then roll and back brush with Peel Bond primer.

If you're willing to invest the time and effort you can sand everything to raw wood. Start with 40 or 60 grit and then follow that with 80 grit. Prime with a long oil primer and allow at least 24 hours to dry before you top coat.

As for paints I'd recommend Benjamin Moore Regal Select or Sherwin Williams Emerald. I'd spray if possible or roll and back brush. If you end up back brushing you may want to add a small amount of water to help the paint level and increase the open time.

Wanted to show some progress pics. Most of the bulk is scraped but still need to detail and sand.
