Blistering happens when the paint coating loses its adhesion and lifts up from the surface. So it looks like a swollen film. This usually occurs with high-quality paint or high-density paint.
Causes
- If it happens at the top, it may be because the upper edge of the wall is not painted or its slope is not well adjusted.
- Water pipes in the wall leak.
- The walls are cracked.
- The painted surface has high moisture.
Solution
- Adjust the slope or level the floor.
- It is better to fix the cause of water leakage first, such as repairing cracks, filling putty, or making a waterproofing layer on the surface.
- Scrub off and clean the old paint with water and a plastic brush.
- Apply Nippon Paint Ultra Block Sealer, which is a high moisture resistant primer, 1 coat.
- Apply Nippon Paint Weatherbond 2 coats as a top coat.
- Low paint adhesion. The coating peels off or can be peeled off.
Causes
- The surface before coating has dirt, dust, or grease stains.
- The wall or painted surface has high moisture.
- The surface is glossy such as precast cement, Roman columns, or cast concrete slabs.
- Primer was not applied to the surface before painting.
- Use of poor-quality putty such as gypsum.
Solution
- Scrub off and clean the old paint with water and a plastic brush.
- Apply Nippon Paint Excel Primer 1 coat.
- Apply the outer coating 2 coats:
- Interior: Nippon Paint AirCare
- Exterior: Nippon Paint Weatherbond
