The drip edge is painted and 12 year old latex. Desert sun, but not
obvious peeling or chips on the paint now.

I plan on two coats on primer and eventually get to the "money" coat
of finish paint. Fascia is clean to wood, but the galv. drip has the
original paint.
I was looking for something to wipe it down with and then prime and
paint.
Maybe just some steel wool/tack cloth, now that I think about it. That
would take off any surface film/oxidation/dirt.
