Peeling
 

Description:
Loss of paint due to poor adhesion. Where there is a primer and topcoat, or multiple coats of paint, peeling may involve some or all coats.

Possible Cause:
Seepage of moisture through uncaulked joints, worn caulk or leaks in roof or walls.

Excess moisture escaping through the exterior walls (more likely if paint is oil-based).

Painting over a dirty surface (wax, mildew, grease, chalk).

Inadequate surface preparation.

Use of lower quality paint.

Applying an oil-based paint over a wet surface.

Earlier blistering of paint (see BLISTERING).

Applying too thick of a topcoat.

Painting over a glossy surface.
