Numerous typical solvent-based paint issues may surface during or following application. The following is a list of common problems:
- Blistering:
The painted surface developing bubbles or blisters. This can happen when paint is applied in direct sunshine, which speeds up the drying process, or when moisture is trapped in the substrate. - Cracking:
The painted surface exhibiting the formation of tiny, linked cracks. Paint applied too thickly, incompatible primers, and inadequate surface preparation can all cause cracking. - Peeling:
Inadequate surface preparation, problems with moisture, or painting an unclean or oily surface are common causes of paint peeling from the substrate. - Sagging or Running:
Overapplication of paint resulting in noticeable sagging, drips, or runs. This may occur if the paint is applied excessively thickly or in extremely hot weather. - Orange Peel:
The painted surface has a texture that is similar to that of an orange peel. Inadequate paint thinning, mishandled spray gun settings, or inadequate application methods can all cause this result. - Fish Eyes:
Little indentations in the paint film that resemble craters. Contamination on the surface, such as oil or silicone traces, can cause fish eyes. - Wrinkling:
The creation of creases or wrinkles in the paint film, frequently brought on by recoating with an incompatible paint or adding a second coat before the first has had a chance to fully dry. - Staining:
The discoloration or staining of the painted surface, resulting from the use of primers that are incompatible with the paint, rust seeping through the paint, or tannins leaking from wood. - Chalking:
The painted surface developing a powdery residue. Weathering, UV exposure, and the use of inferior or incompatible paints can all cause chalking. - Fading:
Gradual loss of colour intensity, typically brought on by UV and sunshine exposure. Selecting paints that are resistant against UV rays can reduce fading. - Lifting:
The process of removing the topcoat to reveal the layers beneath. This could occur if paints that are incompatible are used or if the substrate was not sufficiently prepped. - Poor Adhesion: Paint and substrate fail to properly connect, causing flaking or peeling. Inadequate surface preparation or the use of primers that are incompatible can result in poor adhesion.
Finding the root of the problem and implementing remedial actions, like appropriate surface preparation, the use of suitable goods, and adherence to advised application methods, are frequently necessary to resolve these problems.
