Use really good primer or you’ll have to use thumb tacks to hold the Weatherbeater onto the house.

Hello Rudy:
put down two coats of “Kilz” primer before painting. Use the type for oil base paint first, then the latex paint. If you don’t treat the wood, the weatherbeater will peel in a few years. The primer will give you a longer life expectancy.
