3Why do I have a patchy paint finish?
Patchiness generally occurs when insufficient paint has been applied or is applied unevenly, resulting in a variation of the film build leading to patches.
What are the possible causes?

- Incorrect or low quality paint brush or roller.
- Failure to apply a primer over joint compound.
- Applying paint over joint compound not fully dried.
- The top coat is applied over spot-puttied surfaces.
- Variations in surface gloss can cause paint to appear patchy.
How can I fix the problem?
- Increase the amount of paint on the brush or roller to allow better distribution.
- Apply the paint in a grid fashion to ensure an even finish.
- Allow puttied wall to dry evenly before priming.
- By applying one coat of appropriate premium APCO Primer.
- Apply two coats of Fortuna Silk or Villa Sunfast as per substrate.

4Why is my paint peeling off the surface?
Peeling often occurs when high levels of moisture penetrate the paint film, eventually pushing it away from the surface.
What are the possible causes?
- Excessive atmospheric moisture, e.g. shower.
- Excessive moisture due to high humidity, e.g. basement and/or foundation.
How can I fix the problem?
- Remove loose paint by scraping or wire-brushing.
- Remove any efflorescence and mildew.
- Power wash with plain water.
- Scrape cracks clean of debris and seal with APCO Damp Block incase of interiors.
- Remove residual dust particles, taking care to not let water into cracks or porous areas.
- Finish with two coats of Fortuna Silk Interior Luxury Finish or Villa Sunfast Exterior Luxury Finish as per the substrate.

5Why hasn’t the paint stuck to the surface of my walls and wood?
Failure of paint to stick to the surface on which it has been applied and/or to itself can be described as poor adhesion.
What are the possible causes?
- The biggest cause of poor adhesion is poor surface preparation.
- Insufficient sanding before applying any primer.
- Applying primer too thin.
- Diluting the primer thereby weakening its ability to stick to the surface.
- Failure to prime the surface in the first place.
- Painting on wet or damp surface.
- Incompatible coatings, such as a water based coating over oil.
How can I fix the problem?
- Use the correct type of primerfor the surface.
- Apply primer following manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Never paint on a wet or a damp surface.
- Always ensure that the area is clean, dry and free from contaminants before painting.
- Treat any surface problems before priming.

7Why does my paint come off the wall when scrubbed?
The easy wearing-away of paint when scrubbed with a brush, sponge, or cloth is indicative of a paint which is exhibiting poor scrub resistance.
What are the possible causes?
- Insufficient time allowed for paint to fully dry before washing or scrubbing.
- Use of an abrasive cleaner.
- Choosing the wrong product or sheen for the area.
- Using low quality paint.
- Overly aggressively scrubbing the painted area.
How can I fix the problem?
- Areas requiring frequent washing will require a high quality paint formulated especially to provide such performance.
- High traffic areas may require a silk, semi-gloss or gloss rather than a flat paint.
- Allow adequate dry time, as scrub resistance will not fully develop until the paint has thoroughly cured. Typically, it takes 5 days.
- Use non-abrasive material and mild detergent where possible.

9My new paint job is all wrinkled. Why has this happened?
The hardening on the outer layer of a thick coat of paint before the under layer dries results in the paint film having a rough, wrinkled appearance.
What are the possible causes?
- Applying paint too thickly especially with oil-based paints.
- Applying a second coat of paint before the first has dried.
- Not following recommended drying times.
- Painting during extremely hot causes the paint film to dry faster on top than on the bottom.
- Uncured paint that is exposed to high humidity is also prone to wrinkling.
- Painting over contaminated surface e.g., dirt, grease or wax.
How can I fix the problem?
- Allow wrinkled coating to dry completely.
- Once dry, scrape or sand to remove wrinkled coating.
- In reapplying paint, follow recommended drying between coats.
- Avoid extremes in humidity and heat during application.
- Use premium quality exterior paint.
- It’s always better to apply two thin coats, than one thick coat.
- Consider using a water-based system for a shorter drying and recoating time.

10My walls and ceiling were white when painted, and now they’re yellow. Why is this?
The yellow cast that appears over previously painted white surfaces is called yellowing, and mostly occurs with oil paints.
What are the possible causes?
- Use of oil paint in areas not receiving direct sunlight.
- Oxidation of alkyd or oil-based paint or varnish as it ages.
- Heat from stoves, radiators and heating ducts will turn oil paint yellow.
- Lack of light in dark areas such as behind picture frames, appliances and inside closets.
- Tobacco staining or other environmental contaminants.
How can I fix the problem?
- Because of their drying process, water-based painting systems fare better in enclosed areas.
- Water-based acrylic paints are non-yellowing.
- If your preference is for oil paint, ensure maximum sunlight to minimise yellowing.
