A new topcoat peeling from sound older paint calls for investigation of recent preparation, contamination, compatibility, and application conditions.
Remove all loose, lifting, bubbling, and poorly adhered paint.
Field practiceFor the older, peeling coating condition in the original pilot, I particularly favor an oil-based exterior wood primer.
Once the surface is clean and dry, remove peeling paint and other loose coating back to firmly attached material.
Field practiceCheck for loose paint, contamination, stains, repairs, moisture problems, and glossy or slick finishes before choosing a product.
Field practiceFor visible seams, my sequence is: prime, skim, sand, remove dust, then prime the entire wall before finishing. Skimming does not repair loose wallpaper. Inspect the test area for lifting or bubbling as well as adhesion before continuing.
