Preparation

Ensure the surface is clean and free of grease, wax, and mildew.

Remove any chalk and loose or scaling paint.
Glossy surfaces must be dulled.
Un-weathered areas such as eaves, ceilings, and overhangs should be washed with a detergent solution and/or rinsed with a strong stream of water from a garden hose to remove contaminants that can interfere with proper adhesion.
Stains from mildew must be removed by cleaning with Benjamin Moore Clean (318) or similar product prior to coating the surface.
For metal surfaces, remove rust.
Wipe down with paint thinner to remove surface oils.
