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.
