What causes paint to chip?
Paint may ‘chip-off’ if it has not fully adhered to the painted surface. The bond is not strong and easily broken when knocked.
How to avoid paint chipping-off
- The surface must be fully prepared, clean & dry.
- Sand back to create a stable, uncontaminated surface.
- Prime, when necessary, with a suitable quality primer.
- Ensure the primer has fully adhered to the prepared surface (see technical sheet for more info).
- Lightly sand between coats.
- Then apply two topcoats.
- Leave 4-7 days to fully cure.
