Go to Home Depot on Saturday morning , they have free class all summer long . they can teach you all you need to know.
Remove all the old paint and re-paint with an outdoor paint. You are on the right track.
you must remove old paint first then you can repaint it properly.. I would recommend a heat gun to help remove paint but be careful to read instructions so you don't burn the porch down.....the heat is intense but no flame so its not a torch
first you need to make sure that the termites have not destroyed your porch. Im sorry but whoever told you to use household paint was an idiot. You should have painted it with an outdoor wood paint, and then apply like a thompson sealer. this will keep the paint color bright, and also keep it from getting water damage, termite damage, and keep it from warping. If you're not careful you could find yourself replacing your entire porch. The sealer will keep it from chipping.
take a brush, get some paint, and paint
i dont know
first you need to scrape off as much loose paint as you can, second wash it thouroughly with a hose or powerwasher, let it dry for 24 hours. prime with oil based primer, top coat with oil or latex...
I would use a pressure washer to remove as much of the old paint as possible (be careful not to get too close because the pressure from the nozzle can cut into the wood) Then prime and paint with a high quality exterior paint.
You can go to Home Hard Ware and buy "hardrock" its great paint try and watch, i've used it myself, works great!
Hope This Helps!!
In order to keep new OUTDOOR paint from doing the same thing you need to scrape and sand off the old paint and yes prime so you have a nice base for the new paint to adhere to. Binz makes great primes just make sure you use wood paint for wood, concrete paint for concrete and metal paint for metal if not you are just going to have the same problem even if you do scrape sand and prime!! Go to a good paint center or a local hardware/paint store. Often you will receive much better assistance then the big orange box stores.
wait until the winter, then repaint it then.
First you have to clean the porch then you have tou use a lija and then to paintit again, Be carefull.
pressure wash your porch the paint it with out door floor paint
Sand it down, prime, then paint with the right paint.
