My partner recently purchased a new to her 1880s vintage house that obviously had a recent quicky paint job on many areas. The brown paint that they used appears to have acted more like a paint remover to the many underlying layers of paint causing a good deal of alligatoring of the old layers. I'm assuming that our only recourse is to remove all the alligatored paint before moving forward to a repaint and am open to ideas for removing the paint with least effort. I'd also love to know what precipitated the poor results beyond, they should have scraped off the old layers first.
Thanks for your experienced thoughts! Hugh
