Are these boards new or do they have a finish already? If so what kind of a condition is it in ?
Multi tool with 60/80 grit just a quick blits. Then BEDEC MSP and job done.I am not the OP and sorry to hijacked but I am looking to do the same thing to mine. Currently I believe the fascias are made of wood that was painted with some form of gloss paint at least 15 years ago, this is start to flake off in large patches. I believe the softits might be asbestos but if they are not they will be wood like the fascias. What should I do here? clean off the flaky paint sand back and check they are still in decent condition? and repaint?

I'd trust this man given his username.If it's coming off in large flakes then there's generally a reason, such as water ingress, before you make any decision you should get up there and assess what is going on. If it is water ingress then you will have to dry it out before applying any kind of product.
