When I had siding installed, they also wrapped the fascia at the same time. It is now peeling and showing the bare metal. My plan is to remove and basically peel off the remaining wrap. Next up is to prime with a self etching primer (if needed). Then a quality exterior paint (couple of coats).

Anyone tackled this project and what products did you use? I'm hoping to use products that will last as long as possible as I don't want to repeat this anytime soon as this is on a precarious location on my roof. Thank you for your help!

I had to repaint my metal garage door after mrs df backed through it. I used a product called Gripper by Glidden as a bonding primer and then an exterior latex enamel to finish. It never peeled and lasted well until Mrs df backed through it again a few years later.

I’m not allowed to mention it anymore in real life.

How about a photo. That does not qualify as mentioning it. lOL

I have a photo but do not dare publish it. Lol

When repainting metal fascia, it's crucial to use durable products for long-lasting results, especially in precarious locations like your roof. Start by removing the peeling wrap and applying a self-etching primer if needed. Also, fascia replacement is meticulous, so consult an expert in this field to ensure the job is done correctly. Several times, I've been using the help of the iReno Eavestrough and Siding company . I can recommend you contact this company. Only by using the right products and careful application will your fascia be refreshed and protected against the elements.

Replacing facia metal is relatively inexpensive. If you happen to own a brake or know someone who does it could be done easily.

You can go to your local gutter/siding wholesale place and buy a roll then cut it with shears and bend to suit your facials profile. Then nail it up with some colored stainless steel nails and Bob’s your uncle.

I had nasty olive green aluminum siding on the back of my house, circa 1989, as well as all the facia, soffit, and gutters were chalking. I power washed the hell out of it then applied Sherwin Williams Duration paint with an airless sprayer to everything. Expensive but they do have sales where you can get 25 to 40% off. This was at least 15 years ago, still looks great.

Maybe you could find a brake for Mrs. DF?

After PPG bought Glidden and plandemic hit, severe precursor raw material shortages across the paint industry, the formula was changed and rebranded under a PPG label. It’s not near as good as it was. Still a good product, yes, but not what it was

Just an fyi
