Solve Potential Paint Problems
The splitting of dry paint film through at least one coat. In early stages it appears as hairline cracks and in the later stages flaking occurs.
What are the possible causes?
- Applying low quality paint to the surface, with inadequate adhesion and flexibility
- Applying too thin a coat of paint to the surface
- Inadequate surface preparation
- Failure to prime bare wood before top-coating
- Oil paint hardens with age, until it eventually cracks
- Painting on damp wood
What is the solution?
- Remove loose paint or flaking paint by scraping or wire brushing
- Sand the area to feather the edges
- Prime bare spots
- Repaint with two coats of a premium paint
- Berger recommends 2 topcoats over 1 primer coat
We recommend you use these painting systems in order of base coat, first coat, and second coat:
