Why Is My Paint Peeling?

Peeling is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Common contributors can include weak or contaminated substrate, moisture, poor preparation, incompatible coats or unsuitable application.

Diagnosis checklist

  1. Identify whether failure is between paint layers or between paint and substrate.
  2. Check for dampness or water entry.
  3. Check loose/chalky material.
  4. Review primer and coating compatibility.
  5. Review application and drying conditions.

Do not simply repaint over loose coating. Start with the Problem Solver and relevant technical resources.
