Yes, if you pressure ash it first to get the mold off
Use Wet and Forget to kill the mold first
Powerwash it first. That will take off all the mold. Let it dry your good to go.
You need to remove the mold first. You can pour boiling water on it to kill it (let it dry out first), or power wash it with a solution that kills mold. NOTE: if you don't own a power washer, consider renting one instead of buying one.
Remove the mold by washing in bleach water. You cannot successfully paint over mold and expect it to last.
With mold, you never want to skip the part of cleaning it off with bleach water. The beach kills it and cleans it off for good.
You're welcome, Bobbi!
