Portola / Miraloma - Peel Stop


Have you ever heard of this product?  Peel stop is a clear, binding primer, interior & exterior sealer. And as its title suggests, it helps paint adhere to various surfaces and NOT peel.  How cool is that?  If I could figure out how to apply this technology to lipstick, I think I could be very rich.  Or at least popular.

Per the website, Peel Stop: "extends the life of problem surfaces. It binds cracking, chalking and peeling paint and glues down cracks and gaps under the edges of old paint. It forms a tough acrylic film that stays flexible and helps prevent peeling by letting moisture escape. Peel Stop can be applied by brush or roller, onto wood siding and trim, yellow pine, rough sawn cedar, textured plywood, concrete and concrete block, stucco and galvanized gutters. " 
Want proof?  Please have a gander at the recently painted exterior of a home on Portola, which came out pretty impressively, if I do say so myself.

We happily avoided the worry, and put our client at ease by using the "Peel Stop".  We applied Peel Stop to every surface that we painted and it gave our client the peace of mind they needed.  Check out the close up photos below:  

Pearl Painting did the entire exterior of this lovely home, including the trim.  We had some serious discussion with the owner, who had reservations about just priming the home before painting.  Their concern was that due to the foggy weather San Francisco endures, due to just general weather conditions, the owner was hesitant because the exterior of the house was not in the best of shape.  

While it's a sweet house, it is a little weathered, a little older, and the concern was that once you start to correct something (in this case, the curb appeal) there would be a host of other issues which would add up.   We happily didn't face any surprise issues and the paint job was straight forward and - what I consider - a total success.  Our client is thrilled, and we are happy to be the painting company that revived a lovely little house in Portola.
