Solve Potential Paint Problems
Chalking is the formation of a white, dusty powder on the paint film, and is actually a natural way for paint to breakdown as it weathers.
What are the possible causes?
- Long-term exposure of paint film to the elements
- Use of low-quality interior paint on an exterior surface
- Over thinning the paint
- Application of a thin paint film
- Failure to prime and seal the surface before applying topcoat
- Painting on a pre-existing chalky surface
What is the solution?
- Remove chalk residue using a stiff bristle or wire brush
- Wash with soap and water, and rinse thoroughly by hose or power washer
- Allow surface to dry and check for any remaining chalk by running a hand over the surface
- If noticeable chalk is still present, apply Berger Alkali Sealer or Berger Penetrating Liquid
- If no chalk is present, repaint as normal
- Repaint with a premium quality exterior coating
We recommend you use these painting systems in order of base coat, first coat, and second coat:

Poor hiding occurs when paint fails to obscure or hide the surface to which it is applied.
What are the possible causes?
- Using low-quality paint with little hiding power
- Spreading paint too thinly or unevenly
- Over-thinning paint beyond the recommended amount
- Failure to prime the surface before top-coating
- Painting a porous or absorbent surface
- Using incorrect or poor quality tools
- Inadequately mixed paint
What is the solution?
- Prime first, if moving from a significantly darker to a light colour
- When painting in a dark colour, tint primer in a similar tone to the topcoat shade
- Use premium quality paint for better hiding and flow
- Use quality and correct tools for the job
- Follow manufacturer's recommendation for thinning
