We are looking at a Log home in SW Colorado that was built in 1973 and has been painted, (BLUE) and will need to have the outside painted again. I was thinking powerwash the flaking paint off and then cover with a darker earth tone paint. Good or bad idea? Other ideas
Power washing would not be the recommended way to remove the paint, but it should be removed. It can cause surface rot over time and start other issues. Have it glass blasted and then apply a solid stain if the painted look is what you are looking for. (less maintenance with solid stain)
