Soffit Painting Prep

If it's dirty, has any mold/mildew, do yourself a favor and buy a gallon of Jomax and put it in a garden sprayer, mix as directed and spray the area you want to paint.

Let it sit for about 10 minutes and then come back and hose it off. Repeat until you have covered the whole soffit area.

Let it thoroughly dry before starting any prep. If no loose or peeling paint, sand with 100 grit on an orbital sander to break the surface so the new paint will stick real good.

Prior to painting, caulk any gaps, set any nails and fill the holes, dust the area real good to get it ready to paint. Then I like to roll it on with a 9 inch roller and come back behind that and brush it out to smooth out any roller stipple. Repeat until the job is done.
