How to Paint a Primitive Porch

Spray down the primitive porch to remove any debris or stains. Allow the porch to dry.

Use the sander, moving in the direction of the wood’s grain, to remove any finish or old paint from the primitive porch. The wood should be slightly rough to the touch.

Vacuum any sawdust from the porch. Wipe up any dust with a damp cloth and allow the porch to dry completely.

Pour primer into a paint tray. Apply the primer to the porch with the paint rollers and brushes. Coat the entire porch in the primer. Allow the primer to dry for 24 hours.

Pour exterior paint in your desired color into a clean paint tray. Paint the porch using a clean roller. Use the paintbrushes to touch up any areas the rollers can’t reach. Allow the paint to dry for between 24 and 48 hours before applying the second coat. Allow the paint to dry for 72 hours before walking on it.
