Garden Wall paint/treatment

Catalpa32 · 2023-05-07 17:46:49

Hi All, garden wall paint is patchy in places - photos attached - looks like salt? Going to repaint, etc. Any advice on how to treat before applying paint? Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply. I used a primer last time it was painted but still flaked. It may be just a damp wall?

Can't remember which I used last time. Can only paint on side of wall - it's a retaining wall for a lawn.
