Paint Solution

Salty looking discoloration, most visible on darker colors, sometimes mistaken for efflorescence.



Usually forms in protected areas not receiving cleaning rains.
Dark colors over paint or primer using excessive extender pigments.
Mistaken for efflorescence.



Remove frosting with a wire brush on masonry and sanding on wood.
Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose.
For the best and quickest results, use a power washer.
Frosting often will bleed through new paint if an alkyd-based primer isn't used.



A alkyd primer is essential to avoid a reoccurrence of bleeding through the new finish coat only.
Select a top quality exterior paint in the color and sheen of your choice.
