This is peeling paint on the jamb of an exterior door. I am going to repair it, but want to know why it failed. It is about 8 years old from what I am told. I found in storage the paint used, it is Rodda "Premium Classic Exterior" - which I take to be an adequate if not actual premium paint. It is fine on the trim everywhere else on the house. It gets neither very cold nor very hot here (Seattle area).
The part that is exposed is the edge of the 1/2" x 4.5" Jamb securing the weatherstripping (out of photo to the right). What you see underneath is bleached wood, nothing else.
I am thinking it was not primed correctly? This is around the lower part of the door below the handle. The opposite side, which sees less use/impact, has a small crack and peel spot, but no where near as much.
The pics of the small chip I peeled show the color layer and a distinct white layer underneath, which has complete pulled off the wood and clearly not bonded to it.
How should I fix it? I was thinking:
- peel/chip away what I could, sand as smooth as possible.
- Prime (with what?)
- re-Paint
Sorry, I cannot get these google photos to appear inline. Please click if you think you can help.
