We had a similar problem with this house. The wood trim had been
painted with oil paint so I used Kilz on it before painting with
latex. It lasted a few years and started peeling. Parts of it would
peel off easily and parts would not. I got something from the paint
store (independent one, not Home Depot type) and it's called Painters
Insurance. Don't know what is in it but you mix it one part painter's
insurance with three parts water.
It is clear. I sanded the spots that had come off so it was more
even. Then I put one coat of Painter's Insurance on and let it dry.
Then I repainted ... had to put two coats on where the old stuff came
off. I started putting PI on the other trim before it started peeling
and repainted ... most of it. My neighbor had the same problem. Man
at the store told him he probably had a moisture problem. That could
be part of it....we are in Tampa Bay area and it is always damp here.
