Again Dan I did respond. What type of surface?
Metal
Presure wash mobile home with a pressure washer.
Prime bare metal spots with a primer. Ensure paint is compatable with a Latex Paint
Use a Latex paint. Worked well here is Wa.
I believe I used two coats. Will have to be brushed.
Wood. Just like painting anything with a wood finish. Pressure wash and then paint.
Good luck.
