How To Fix Peeling Paint.

What happens here

With the door jamb sanded and caulked, it is now ready for priming. Use a paint can opener or a flathead screwdriver to open the can of Mad Dog Dura-Build surface smoothing primer. Stir the primer well. Apply a nice, thick coat of the primer to the entire door jamb using a paint brush. The presenter emphasizes putting it on 'THICK'. Allow the primer to dry completely. A critical note is that when applying the final topcoat of paint over this primer, you must use a satin or semi-gloss finish, as flat paint will crack due to the primer's highly flexible nature.

Goal: Prime the door jamb to create a flexible, smooth base for painting.

What they say

Hide

So now I got this thing all sanded. It's all cocked. It's ready to be primed. I'm just going to open up my primer and just brush a nice good thick coat on this thing. And then we're going to be letting that dry and coming back and painting this house. One quick note when it comes to using this primer when you top coat it. You only want to use a satin or semi- gloss paint. You don't want to use a flat paint because it'll crack cuz this primer is extremely flexible and it moves a lot and a flat paint will crack on it within a few days. So we we paint all of our exteriors with satin so it's not going to be issue. [Music] Heat up [Music] here.
