Chipping is where cured paint chips down on either the substrate or previous coat. There are numerous causes for chipping. Most common causes for chipping include moisture penetration along with other environmental conditions.  Prior to repair, ensure the root cause has been identified. The root cause must be addressed as part of the correction.

SOLUTION: To correct chipping, remove loose paint chips with a scraper or wire brush, sanding to feather the edges, priming any bare spots and repainting. Prime with a recommended Sherwin-Williams primer. Repaint with Sherwin-Williams Resilience® exterior latex paint.

Flaking is the splitting of a dry paint film through at least one coat.  Early on, the problem appears as hairline cracks; later, flaking of paint chips occurs. Prior to repair, ensure the root cause has been identified.  Cracking  is often caused by numerous issues including surface contamination.  The root cause must be addressed as part of the correction.

SOLUTION: It may be possible to correct cracking that does not go down to the substrate by removing the loose or flaking paint with a scraper or wire brush, sanding to feather the edges, priming any bare spots and repainting. If the cracking goes down to the substrate remove all of the paint by scraping and sanding. Prime with a recommended Sherwin-Williams primer. Repaint with Sherwin-Williams Resilience® exterior latex paint.

Peeling and/or Loss of Adhesion (Inter-Coat) between previous coating or primer. Prior to repair, ensure the root cause has been identified.  This peeling is often caused by contamination or  moisture penetration.  The root cause must be addressed as part of the correction.   

SOLUTION: To correct chipping, remove loose paint chips with a scraper or wire brush, sanding to feather the edges, priming any bare spots and repainting. Prime with a recommended Sherwin-Williams primer. Repaint with Sherwin-Williams Resilience® exterior latex paint.
