In general, your new paint’s adhesion could be negatively affected if applied over existing high gloss surfaces. Fortunately most exterior houses aren’t high gloss, but many doors are. If you encounter a surface that is high in gloss it’s best to degloss with sandpaper or a liquid deglosser.
If there is existing paint that is peeling, you need to discover the cause and correct it. Be sure to smooth the edges of any areas where paint has peeled. Sanding provides a smooth surface that improves the adhesion of both paint and primer. TESTIMONIALS

We recommend always priming prior to caulking and patching. Remember the peeling areas you sanded down in Step #3? You’ll need to spot prime (applying primer to particular areas) surface areas that are not in sound condition. Note that brick should always be primed entirely. westchesterpainters.net
