    Painting metal siding

    Is it okay to paint the metal siding of a house? Will it matter what type of metal is used and if so, which ones are okay to paint and which ones aren’t or might not be? How should I go about painting metal siding? Like, what sort of paint should I use and are there any ways I should treat it differently to other paint jobs? What steps should the work involve?

    Paint peeling after underoat

    I recently moved into a new house and started preparing a wall for painting. I noticed the old paint was peeling easily, coming off in large sheets when rubbed. I removed all of the peeling paint, applied an undercoat/primer, and then painted the final top coat. However, the new paint is now peeling in the same way, even after using the primer. What could be causing this issue, and how can I ensure the paint adheres to the wall properly?
