Sealers are basecoats applied to a surface to reduce absorption of subsequent coats of paint or varnish, or to prevent bleeding through the finish coatPAINT TYPES:11Oil Paints utilize a drying oil that oxidizes and hardens to form a tough elastic film when exposed to thin layer of air.

Alkyd Paints have as a binder an alkyd resin, such as chemically modified soy or linseed oil.

PAINT TYPES:12Latex Paints have as a binder an acrylic resin that coalesces as water evaporates from the emulsion.

Epoxy Paints have an epoxy resin as a binder for increased resistance to corrosion, abrasion and chemicals.PAINT TYPES:

13Rust Inhibiting Paints & Primers are esp. formulated with anti-corrosive pigments to prevent /reduce the corrosion of metal surfaces.

Fire Retardant Paints are especially formulated with silicone and polyvinyl chloride or other substance to reduce the flame spread of a combustible material.PAINT TYPES:

14Heat Resistant Paints are specially formulated w/ silicone resins to withstand high temperatures

Intumescent Coatings, when exposed to the heat of a fire, swell to form a thick insulating layer of inert foam that retards flame spread and combustionPAINT TYPES:

PAINTS CAN BE APPLIED BY:

22Previously painted surfaces: Scrape off loose paint and sand smooth. Old, fading paint must be removed to provide good adhesion for the new coats of paint. Nail back loose boards, countersink the nail heads and fill with putty. To prevent discoloration of paint later, seal knots and resinous spots with a thin coat of shellac. SURFACE PREPARATION (Exterior):

23New wood exteriors: The surface must be clean and dry Rough spots in siding should be sanded smooth All new wood must be primed After the prime coat has been dried, putty and fill all nail holes and cracks Caulk joint around doors and window frames If pre-primed siding is hard and slick, it should be re-primedSURFACE PREPARATION (Exterior):24SURFACE PREPARATION (Exterior):Masonry floors: Interior and exterior concrete floors must be allowed to dry approximately 90 days for proper aging. Fresh cement contains alkali which will burn paint. Floors subjected to excessive moisture seepage, or hydrostatic pressure, cannot be successfully painted.

25Metal surfaces: All metal surfaces must be cleaned and dry Remove any rust, mill scale or loose paint by wire brushing, sandblasting/sandpapering. Bare spots on shop-coated steel must be wire- brushed and spot primed. Remove oil and grease with paint thinner or mineral spirits. No priming necessary when applying exterior latex to weathered galvanized metal.SURFACE PREPARATION (Exterior):26The surface to be painted must be clean and free of wax, dirt or greaseCracks and holes must be repaired with patching plasterPatched areas must be spot primedOld glossy surfaces should be prepared by sandingSURFACE PREPARATION (Interior):

27Avoid painting in the hot sun. Try to paint those surfaces that have already been exposed to sunlight

Apply a coat of paint primer

Finish with two-coat of top coatsPROPER APPLICATION:

28Bubbles resulting from localized loss of adhesion and lifting of the paint film from the underlying surface

PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):29Possible Causes: Applying oil-based or alkyd paint over a damp or wet surface Moisture seeping into the home through the exterior walls Exposure of the latex paint film to high humidity or moisture shortly after paint has dried, especially if there was inadequate surface.

Solution:If blisters do not go all the way down to the substrate: Remove blisters by scraping & sanding, and repaint with a quality acrylic latex interior paint. If blisters go down to the substrate: Remove the source of moisture, if possible. PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):30Undesirable sticking together of two painted surfaces when pressed together (e.g., a door sticking to the jamb)

PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):31Possible Causes: Not allowing sufficient dry time for the coating before closing doors or windows. Use of low quality semi-gloss or gloss paints.

Solution:Use top quality semi-gloss or gloss acrylic latex paint. Acrylic latex paints generally have better early block resistance than vinyl latex paints, or alkyd or oil-based paintsPAINT DEFECTS (Interior):32Increase in gloss or sheen of paint film when subjected to rubbing, scrubbing or having an object brush up against it.

PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):33Possible Causes: Use of flat paint in highly trafficked areas, where a higher sheen level would be desired. Frequent washing and spot cleaning. Objects (furniture, for example) rubbing against the walls. Solution:Paint heavy wear areas that require regular cleaning (e.g., doors, window sills and trim) with a top quality latex paint In high traffic areas, choose a semi-gloss or gloss rather than a flat sheen levelPAINT DEFECTS (Interior):34The splitting of a dry paint film through at least one coat as a result of aging, which ultimately will lead to complete failure of the paint. In its early stages, the problem appears as hairline cracks; in its later stages, flaking occurs.

PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):35Possible Causes: Use of a lower quality paint that has inadequate adhesion and flexibility. Over-thinning or overspreading the paint. Inadequate surface preparation, or applying the paint to bare wood without first applying a primer.

Solution:Remove loose and flaking paint with a scraper or wire brush, sanding the surface and feathering the edges.Prime bare wood areas before repainting.Use of a top quality primer and top coat should prevent a recurrence of the problem. PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):36Formation of bubbles (foaming) and resulting small, round concave depressions (cratering) when bubbles break in a paint film, during paint application and drying.

PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):37Possible Causes: Shaking a partially filled can of paint. Use of low quality paint or very old latex paint. Applying (especially rolling) paint too rapidly. Excessive rolling or brushing of the paint. Applying a gloss or semi-gloss paint over a porous surface.

Solution:Use high quality paints which will allow good flow and appearance Avoid excessive rolling or brushing of the paint or using paint that is more than a year old. Apply an appropriate sealer or primer before using such paint over a porous surface.Problem areas should be sanded before repainting. PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):38Lapping: Appearance of a denser color or increased gloss where wet and dry layers overlap during paint application.

PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):39Possible Causes: Failure to maintain a "wet edge" when painting. Use of a low solids "economy" paint.

Solution:Maintain a wet edge when painting by applying paint toward the unpainted area and then back into the just-painted surface.This technique will produce a smooth, uniform appearance. It is also wise to work in manageable-size areas; plan for interruptions at a natural break, such as a window, door or corner. Using a top quality acrylic latex paint makes it easier to avoid lapping problems because high solids (pigments and binder) content makes lapped areas less noticeable. Alkyd paints generally have superior wet edge properties. PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):40Mildew: Black, grey or brown spots or areas on the surface of paint or caulk.

PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):41Possible Causes: Forms most often on areas that tend to be damp, or receive little or no direct sunlight (bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms) Use of an alkyd or oil-based paint, or lower quality latex paint. Failure to prime wood surface before applying the paint. Painting over a substrate/coating on which mildew has not been removed. Solution:Test for mildew by applying a few drops of household bleach to the area: if it is bleached away, the discolorant is probably mildew. Remove all mildew from the surface by scrubbing with a diluted household bleach solution (one part bleach, three parts water) Rinse thoroughly.Use a top quality latex paint, and clean when necessary with bleach/detergent solution. Consider installing an exhaust fan in high moisture areas. PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):42Mud Cracking: Deep, irregular crack resembling dried mud in dry paint film.

PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):43Possible Causes: Paint is applied too thickly, usually over a porous surface. Paint is allowed to build up in corners upon application.

Solution:Remove coating by scraping and sanding.Prime and repaint, using a top quality latex paint.Mud-cracked areas can also be repaired by sanding the surface smooth before repainting with a top quality latex paint.Quality paints have a higher solids content, which reduces the tendency to mud crack.They also have a very good application and hiding properties, which minimize the tendency to apply to thick a coat of paint. PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):44Sagging: Downward "drooping" movement of the paint film immediately after application, resulting in a uneven coating.

PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):45Possible Causes: Application of a heavy coat of paint. Application in excessively humid and/or cool conditions. Airless spraying with the gun too close to the substrate being painted.

Solution:If paint is still wet, immediately brush out or re-roll to redistribute the excess evenly.If the paint has dried, sand and reapply a new coat of top quality paint.Correct any unfavorable conditions: Do not thin the paint; avoid cool or humid conditions; sand glossy surfaces.Paint should be applied at its recommended spread rate are better than one heavy coat, which can also lead to sagging.Consider removing doors to paint them supported horizontally. PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):46Surfactant Leaching: Concentration of water-soluble ingredients on the surface of a latex paint, typically on a ceiling surface in rooms that have high humidity (e.g., shower, bathroom, kitchen); may be evident as tan or brown spots or areas, and can sometimes be glossy, soapy or sticky.

PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):47Possible Causes: All latex paint formulas will exhibit this tendency to some extent if applied in areas that become humid (bathrooms, for example), especially in ceiling areas.

Solution:Wash the affected area with soap and water, and rinse. Problem may occur once or twice again before leachable material is completely removed.When paint is applied in a bathroom, it is helpful to have it dry thoroughly before using the shower.Remove all staining before repainting. PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):48Wrinkling: A rough, crinkled paint surface, which occurs when uncured paint forms a "skin.

PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):49Possible Causes: Paint applied too thickly (more likely when using alkyd or oil-based paints). Painting during extremely hot weather or cool damp weather, which causes the paint film to dry faster on top than on the bottom. Exposure of uncured paint to high humidity levels. Applying top coat of paint to insufficiently cured primer. Painting over contaminated surface (e.g., dirt or wax)

Solution:Scrape or sand substrate to remove wrinkled coating. If using a primer, allow it to dry completely before applying top coat. Repaint, (avoiding temperature/humidity extremes), applying an even coat of top quality interior paint. PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):50Poor Print Resistance: Tendency of paint film to take on the imprint of an object that is placed on it (e.g., a shelf, table, window sill or countertop with books, dishes and other objects of them).

PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):51Possible Causes: Use of low quality semi-gloss or gloss paint. Putting a painted surface back into use before paint has fully dried.

Solution:Use top quality acrylic semi-gloss or gloss latex paint. Low quality latex semi-gloss and gloss paints can have poor print resistance, especially in warm damp conditions.Acrylic latex paints generally have better print resistance than vinyl latex paints.Fully cured alkyd paints also have excellent print resistance.Make sure the recommended "cure" time is allowed for the paint before it is put into service.Cool or humid conditions require more curing time. PAINT DEFECTS (Interior):52Alligatoring: Patterned cracking in the surface of the paint film resembling the regular scales of an alligator.

PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):53Possible Causes: Application of an extremely hard, rigid coating, like an alkyd enamel, over a more flexible coating, like a latex primer. Application of a top coat before the undercoat is dry. Natural aging of oil-based paints as temperatures fluctuate.The constant expansion and contraction results in a loss of paint film elasticity.

Solution:Old paint should be completely removed by scraping and sanding the surface; a heat gun can be used to speed work on large surfaces, but take care to avoid igniting paint/substrate. The surface should be primed with a high quality latex or oil-based primer, then painted w/ a top quality exterior latex paint. PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):54Chalking: Formation of fine powder on the surface of the paint film during weathering, which can cause color fading. Although some degree of chalking is a normal, desirable way for a paint film to wear, excessive film erosion can result in heavy chalking.

PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):55Possible Causes: Use of a low-grade, highly pigmented paint. Use of an interior paint for an outdoor application.

Solution:First remove as much of the chalk residue as possible, using a stiff bristle brush (or wire brush on masonry) and then rinse thoroughly with a garden hose; or use power washing equipment.Check for any remaining chalk by running a hand over the surface after it dries.If noticeable chalk is still present, apply a quality oil-based or acrylic latex primer (or comparable sealer for masonry), then repaint with a quality exterior coating; if little or no chalk remains and the old paint is sound, no priming is necessary. PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):56Dirt Pickup: Accumulation of dirt, dust particles and/or other debris on the paint film; may resemble mildew.

PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):57Possible Causes: Use of low quality paint, esp. lower grades of satin/semi-glossSoil splashing onto siding. Air pollution, car exhaust and flying dust collecting on house body and horizontal trim.

Solution:Wash off all surface dirt before priming and painting. If unsure whether the problem is dirt/mildew, conduct a simple spot test. Clean off dirt with a scrub brush and detergent solution, followed by a thorough rinsing with a garden hose.While dirt pickup can't be eliminated entirely, top quality exterior latex paints typically offer superior dirt pickup resistance & washability. Also, higher gloss paints are more resistant to dirt pickup than flat paints, which are more porous and can more easily entrap dirt. PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):58Efflorescence/Mottling: Crusty, white salt deposits, leached from mortar or masonry as water passes through it.

PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):59Possible Causes: Failure to adequately prepare surface by removing all previous efflorescence. Excess moisture escaping through the exterior masonry walls from the inside.

Solution:Eliminate the source of excessive moisture by repairing the roof, cleaning out gutters & downspouts, & sealing any cracks in the masonry. If moist air is originating inside the building, consider installing vents/exhaust fans, esp in kitchen, bathroom & laundry areas. Remove the efflorescence & all loose material w/ a wire brush; then thoroughly rinse the surface.Apply a quality water-based or solvent-based masonry sealer and allow it to dry completely; then apply a coat of top quality exterior paint or elastomeric wall covering. PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):60Frosting: A white, salt-like substance on the paint surface.Frosting can occur on any paint color, but it is less noticeable on white paint or light tints. On masonry, it can be mistakes for efflorescence

PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):61Possible Causes: Forms mostly in protected areas (such as under eaves and on open porch ceilings) that do not receive the cleansing action of rain, dew and other moisture.Use of dark-colored paints Application of a dark-colored paint over a paint or primer containing calcium carbonate extender.

Solution:Frosting can be a stubborn problem & cannot be washed off readily.The condition can recur even as a bleed-through when a new top coat is applied.In extreme cases, it can interfere with adhesion. The best remedy is removing frosting by wirebrushing masonry/sanding wood surfaces; rinse, then apply a alkyd-based primer before adding a coat of high quality exterior paint PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):62Paint Incompatibility: Loss of adhesion where many old coats of alkyd or oil-based paint received a latex top coat.

PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):63Possible Causes: Use of water-based latex paint over more than three or four coats of old alkyd or oil-based paint may cause the old paint to "lift off" the substrate.

Solution:Repaint using another coat of alkyd or oil-based paint. Or completely remove the existing paint and prepare the surface-cleaning, sanding and spot-priming where necessary- before repainting with a top latex exterior paint. PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):64Peeling: Loss of paint due to poor adhesion.Where there is a primer and top coat, or multiple coats of paint, peeling may involve some or all coats.

PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):65Possible Causes: 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). Inadequate surface preparation. Use of lower quality paint. Applying an oil-based paint over a wet surface. Earlier blistering of paint. Solution:Try to identify and eliminate cause of moisture.Prepare surface by removing all loose paint with scraper or wire brush, sand rough surfaces, prime bare wood. Repaint with a top quality acrylic latex exterior paint for best adhesion and water resistance. PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):66Poor Alkali Resistance: Color loss and overall determination of paint film on fresh masonry.

PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):67Possible Causes: Oil-based paint or vinyl acrylic latex paint was applied to new masonry that has not cured for a full year.Fresh masonry is likely to contain lime, which is very alkaline.Until the lime has a chance to react with carbon dioxide from the air, the alkalinity of the masonry remains so high that it can attack the integrity of all paint film.

Solution:Allow masonry surfaces to cure for at least 30 days, and ideally for a full year, before painting.If this is not possible, the painter should apply a quality, alkali-resistant sealer or latex primer, followed by a top quality 100 percent acrylic latex exterior paint. The acrylic binder in these paints resists alkali attack. PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):68Poor Galvanized Metal Adhesion: Paint that has lost its adhesion to a galvanized metal substrate.

PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):69Possible Causes: Improper surface preparation, such as inadequate rust removal. Failure to apply a primer before application of an oil-based or vinyl latex paint. Failure to sand baked-on enamel finishes or glossy surfaces before painting.

Solution:Any rust on the metal should be removed with a wire brush; then an acrylic latex corrosion-resistant primer should be applied before applying an oil-based or vinyl latex top coat. PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):70Poor Gloss Retention: Deterioration of the paint film, resulting in excessive or rapid loss of luster of the top coat.

PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):71Possible Causes: Use of an interior paint outdoors. Use of a lower quality paint. Use of a gloss alkyd/oil-based paint in areas of direct sunlight.

Solution:Direct sunshine can degrade the binder and pigment of a paint, causing it to chalk and lose its gloss.While all types of paint will lose some degree of luster over time, lower quality paints will generally lose gloss much earlier that better grades.The binder in top quality acrylic latex paint is especially resistant to UV radiation, while oil & alkyd binders actually absorb the radiation, causing the binders to break down.Surface preparation for a coating showing poor gloss retention should be similar to that used in chalking surfaces. PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):72Vinyl Siding Warp: Warping or buckling of vinyl siding panels that have been repainted.

PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):73Possible Causes: Most likely cause is that vinyl siding was painted with a darker color paint than the original color.Dark paint tends to absorb the heat of the sun, transferring it to the substrate

Solution:Paint vinyl siding in a shade no darker than the original. Whites, off whites, pastels and other very light colors are good choices. Top quality acrylic latex paint is the best type of paint to use on vinyl siding, because the superior flexibility of the paint film enables it to withstand the stress of expansion and contraction cycles caused by outdoor temperature changes. PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):74Wrinkling: A rough, crinkled paint surface occurring when paint forms a "skin.

PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):75Possible Causes: Paint applied too thickly (more likely when using alkyd or oil-based paints)Painting a hot surface or in very hot weather. Exposure of uncured paint to rain, dew, fog/high humidity levelsApplying top coat of paint to insufficiently cured previous coat. Painting over contaminated surface (e.g., dirt or wax)

Solution:Scrape or sand substrate to remove wrinkled coating. Repaint, applying an even coat of top quality exterior paint.Make sure the first coat or primer is dry before applying the top coat. Apply paints at the manufacturer's recommended spread rate.When painting during extremely hot, cool/damp weather, allow extra time for the paint to dry completely. PAINT DEFECTS (Exterior):76
