What happens here

After preparing the surfaces, primer is applied to ensure proper paint adhesion. Sherwin Williams SuperPaint primer is applied to the siding using an 18-inch nap roller to 'backroll' it, effectively pushing the primer deep into the siding's texture. XIM Peel Bond primer is hand-brushed onto areas with peeling paint or bare wood on corner boards and window trim. Additionally, Sherwin Williams 950a caulk is applied with a caulking gun and smoothed with a putty knife to seal any remaining gaps and cracks around windows, doors, and trim.

Goal: Apply caulk and primer for optimal paint adhesion and a smooth finish.

What they say

Hide

and we're using Sher Williams super paint. And we're using an 18inch nap to just go and and back roll over all this this siding to actually push the paint in and get it in all the the fuzzy siding. This actually looks like cardboard. And we're just back rolling this whole thing. And we need to go through this process to get our top coat to actually stick and adhere really well. And it'll look a lot better if you wire brush it, sand it, and back roll it prior to actually painting it. Once we paint it, then we're going to spray two coats of paint over it. And then we got our Peel Bond down here. XIM Peel Bond. We're using Peel Bond. Got a lot of peeling paint on the corner boards. And we're using the peel bond to hand brush all the corner boards and all the window trim with that peel bond. And peel bond is a primer that can go right over the bare wood.
