The second step is priming. We apply a specific sealing primer that penetrates the substrate and creates a uniform adhesion base for the final paint. Without correct priming, the final paint may not adhere well to the substrate and could peel off soon. This is the step most often skipped in quick repaints but has the biggest impact on durability. The first step is substrate diagnosis. If the existing paint is well adhered, we cover it. If it's flaking, we remove it completely with a spatula and sander, leaving the substrate clean. If there are structural cracks (not superficial), we treat them with elastic putty that accommodates small building movements without re-cracking. If there are salt stains or white efflorescence, we remove them with a specific chemical product and neutralise before painting. The third step is applying the final paint. For large facades, we use airless spray guns that provide a uniform finish quickly. For terraces and detail areas, we use a good quality roller. We always apply two crossed coats (the first vertical, the second horizontal) to ensure uniform coverage without marks.

Coastal properties have specific problems that require extra treatment. Salt builds up on the wall and, with humidity, migrates inside the substrate. When we paint over it, the salts continue their journey and peel off the new paint within months. The solution is washing with specific chemicals before painting, neutralisation, and application of siloxane-type paint that allows the wall to breathe without letting water through. Interior doors. Installation, adjustment of those that rub the floor or don't close properly due to humidity expansion, complete varnishing, changing handles and locks, and installing sliding doors with recessed guides for small apartments where a normal door gets in the way. This is probably the most common breakdown on the entire Costa Blanca. The blind tape breaks in mid-summer, just after lowering it to escape the midday sun. You leave it half-down for months. The breakage always occurs due to wear of the cotton tape in the internal drum. The structure is exactly the same in 90% of apartments in Torrevieja, Orihuela Costa, and surroundings.

It works the first year but visibly degrades the second. You need to invest in specific exterior paint with acrylic or silicone resins, quality UV filter, and impact resistance. The cost difference per litre between cheap and professional paint is relatively small. The difference in years of durability more than makes up for it. Have you bought a property in the area and the facade or terrace has yellowed, flaking, or whitish-stained paint? It's not due to poor quality original paint. It's because of the harsh exposure conditions in the area. The Costa Blanca combines four factors that destroy standard exterior paints: intense and constant sun, over 300 days a year of direct UV radiation. Marine salt spray that deposits on surfaces close to the coast. Rare but torrential rains that wash away layers. And Saharan dust that embeds itself between pigments. An economical white paint resistant to UV might last three summers in these conditions. A specific paint for coastal climates with reinforced UV filter lasts 8-10 years with a good appearance.
