Sorry to repost but no response last time and urgently looking for advice on the best approach.
... We are repainting the exterior of a Georgian village house with rendered (stucco ?) elevations.
One side of the house faces straight onto the street and the previous paint finish - a thick latex I think (almost like lino) needs to be removed as it is blistering badly.
What would be the correct / most sympathetic paint type to use to replace this latex stuff ? ...
I now believe the latex type stuff is a product known as Renelite or Tretoshield by a company called Tremco. According to their datasheets it is breathable and almost indestructable - apparently it is used in the nuclear industry !
Does anybody have any experience (good or bad) of this type of paint finish / coating ?
Would you suggest replacing the area which is deteriorating with more of the same or should I try and remove all of this covering. If so what should it be replaced with to give a more authentic finished surface ? I believe the render - looks more like cement then lime - underneath is pretty old (possibly original) and seems to still be in serviceable condition.
I think trying to remove the render would do more harm then good and can't find any threads on this forum covering this type of scenario.
Any thoughts / advice you might be able to offer would be very much appreciated.
