How do I repair my ceiling on the porch?
The ceiling was dirty under my porch. It was painted off white by the builder. I had no idea it would peel. Now I have spots on my ceiling where the paint has peeled off.

Sand, prime and repaint with exterior paint.
Scrub off all the flaky bits with a brush and then re-paint.
Hello Judy, Scrape the loose paint off. Sand down and then use an External Render Paint or Tile and Cement Paint. If ceiling is timber - prepare as before, then primer, undercoat and apply 2 coats of gloss or semi gloss paint. Or maybe clad in UPVC cladding instead.
I would wonder why the paint is coming off to begin with. Is there a moisture getting there or is it simply coming off? Just thinking this would be a solution before you have to redo it again
