An interesting article in The Kansas City Star had tips on fixing peeling deck
paint, and we’ve boiled these tips and others down to five easy steps.
- Step 1: Remove as much of the loose paint as possible with a wire brush.
- Step 2: Use an orbital sander to remove the rest of the peeling paint.
- Step 3: Sand again using a 150-220 grit sandpaper.
- Step 4: Clean the deck, perhaps with a power-washer.
- Step 5: Apply a wood primer and finally, paint.
