I wonder if anybody can help me with this situation. I went to see an exterior job the other day. The old painters have primed the mahogany trim with Benjamin Moore fast drying oil primer and painted it with Moore glo latex. Now, after a year the exterior trim has blisters on it. The owners have the old painters back to sand the trims to bare wood (for the most part) and they want me to paint it after they are done sanding. There is also a covered porch with Mahogany ceiling that want me to paint as well. The ceiling is mahogany with paint grade trims in between.
Here is what I told them: the blistering problem is weather related and they said the painters were painting when it was really cold.
I also told them that they shouldn’t paint mahogany, but they want it painted and since the trims have still some paint on them we have to paint them as well.
The question is can you stain the mahogany with solid color satin rather the primer and paint? If I have to prime and paint with Benjamin Moore what product would you recommend?
Thanks in advance,
