Once you have these materials, we can get started:

Let’s get to work:

– Cover the walls near the moldings to avoid staining them with PPG™ Blue Painter’s Tape.

– Start by cleaning the moldings with soap and water, removing dirt caused by the exterior. Once your space is clean, start scraping with the putty knife to remove the sheen of the previous paint. Clean again and once dry proceed to sand with 3M™ Pro Grade Precision™ Faster Sanding Sandpape to open the cuticle of the wood so that the paint has a perfect adhesion.

Clean

– After sanding and making sure there is no more lacquer residue on the molding, you can start painting with SUN PROOF ®.

– Start with the horizontal part (top and bottom) and then continue with the vertical part.
