Stupid question here but I'll ask anyway

I have some wood around the fascia board that needs touch up painting (for protective purposes)

Being a tight git I have some leftover hammerite from painting my cast iron soil pipe. Could I use this or would it not take/flake away easily/damage the wood?

  • It does exactly what is says on the tin ...............

    "WOOD
    · Bare wood - apply a water based acrylic wood primer before applying Hammerite paint.
    · Painted wood:
    - Abrade the painted surface to remove contaminants/gloss.
    - Wash down thoroughly with diluted detergent.
    - Rinse with clean water.
    - Allow to dry."
