[MassHistPres] Paint

[James Hadley]

Eric,
Have you verified that the horizontal surfaces above the peeling paint are sound? Most often this sort of problem results from water behind the paint, coming from leaking gutters or roof details. In these cases the paint quality has no impact.

The prep seemed to have been adequate, and we are thinking the main issue may simply be the steeple’s extreme exposure, especially in winter. The Building Committee is wondering whether we should consider an alternate approach so it won’t have to be painted every 5-7 years – e.g. stain or some form of ceramic paint. Has anyone had experience good or bad with these types of products?
