Coleen Schoolden on Jan 30, 2015If it is exterior paint, preasure washing will work well, however; you may need a couple different nozzels heads for different pressures that may be necessary to completely remove the paint. Here is a link to a Bob Villa video that will show you what I am referring to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNMEW3goAFg Just copy and past into your browser. There is a commercial before the video. Also be sure not to use too powerful of a nozzel so that you don't strip too many layers of wood off while taking the paint off. Best of Luck with your project! Coleen, Emergency Mitigation, Remediation, & Re-build Manager. Baltimore, Maryland.Helpful Reply
