My front porch had been painted this light brown colour, and the paint is all worn out, chippy, etc.I want to refinish the porch in a nice stain that shows more of the wood grain.Stripping off this old paint has been a huge pain in the ass. Finally though a combination of a chemical stripper and power washing I have most of the brown paint off.However, as you can see in the pictures, in some spots there's an older light blue paint that is much more stubborn.http://ift.tt/2iYenrB question is whether it's essential for me to remove that too? Or if there's like a semi-translucent stain I can buy where that blue wouldn't really end up being a problem?I should mention that it isn't essential to me to have it look perfect. I just want to freshen it up and have it look nicer.Any particular stains you'd recommend or any other tips you have are appreciated.Thanks in advance via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2eEhJ1h
