Chapter 1: Common Painting Problems and Their Causes

Bubbling and Peeling Paint

• Causes: Inadequate surface preparation, improper paint application, or using the wrong type of paint for the surface.
• Solutions: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dirt or grease. Apply a primer to seal the surface and promote paint adhesion. Use the correct type of paint for the surface you're painting.

Unsightly Brushstrokes

• Causes: Using a brush that's too stiff or small, applying paint too thickly, or brushing against the direction of the grain.
• Solutions: Use a soft, high-quality brush designed for painting. Apply thin, even coats of paint. Brush with the grain of the surface.

Uneven Coverage

• Causes: Inadequate stirring of paint, using a roller or brush that's too small, or applying paint too thinly.
• Solutions: Thoroughly stir paint before using. Use a roller or brush that's appropriate for the size of the surface you're painting. Apply multiple thin coats of paint, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
