I started on a painting project this week and everything was going well with it until I realized I needed to paint the windows. To make a long story short, the window sill had a lot of peeling paint and a few dark spots on the wood (sorta like mold or mildew. I peeled up a good bit of the caulk, sanded, and got some silicon from the big box store.
Now, I'm not sure if I need to spray this window sill with bleach to kill mildew or just paint on top of it? I'm also wondering if silicon or some other type of caulk should be applied before or after I paint the window frame? Do I need to remove the rest of the caulk? And last but not least, there is a reasonable chunk missing out the right side of the window frame that extends to the edge. How do I fix that? Drywall putty, wood putty? I have pictures below that hopefully clears up some of what I am attempting to say. Thanks.
