It is my turn to ask for assistance. My house is traditional masonry stucco. I had it repainted about two years ago and recently noticed paint peeling in a few places. I got up on my ladder planning to scrape the loose paint and touch up. When I started scraping, the paint started coming off in large flakes. It was then I realized that my painter had not properly prepped the surface. The old surface was chalking significantly, causing the newer coat to fail. (I have no recourse with the painter, as I cannot locate him.) What is the proper way to remove chalking paint? Both the old and more recent coats were latex. Will pressure washing do the trick? I am sure that it will remove the more recently applied coat of paint, but what about the chalking underneath? Do you have any other suggestions for my situation?
