Can You Paint Over Mildew? The Atlanta Painters at The Painting Penguin Explain

    ATLANTA, GA, February 26, 2014 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Mildew is a type of fungi that can appear as black, gray or brown discoloration. It grows in moist environments and feeds on a variety of organic material including the oils in some paints.

When you notice mildew on a surface you wish to paint, always remove the mildew first prior to painting. According to The Painting Penguin, painting over mildew does not kill it or prevent it from growing through the new layer of paint.

Clean and sanitize any surface thoroughly before applying any type of paint. To get rid of mildew, wash the surface with a mixture of bleach and water or with a cleaner that is specifically formulated to kill mildew. Scrub the entire affected area, rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely before applying the first brushstroke of paint.
