Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shoot Summ" data-source="post: 3141333" data-attributes="member: 1055">Sign up for SW emails, I get a 30% off coupon every other week.  When I painted my exterior I told them what I was doing, how much paint I was going to buy, and asked if they wanted the business(not at retail).  They set up an "account" for me, and I got the discount on all of the paint I bought.  So never pay retail at SW...To answer the original question, the paint didn't stick because the surface was not prepared properly.  So it's best to sand the trim.  I don't think you need to sand it all they way, you can tell when you are sanding where the adhesion is good, and where it isn't.I'll add that sanding trim in place is a *****, I would rather buy new trim, paint it and rip and replace the old.</blockquote>
