CAUSES OF PAINT
FAILURE ON
METAL.
Adhesion Failure:
Paint can lose its adhesion to a metal surface and as with most
of the issues below, inadequate preparation is often to blame.
Specific factors contributing to this particular problem are the
failure of a primer being applied before a substrate is coated in
an oil-based paint or when a glossy surface has not been keyed
properly.
Blistering:
Chalking:
Over time, paint film can erode causing the paint to decompose
into a chalky surface layer which is loose and powdery to the
touch. The chalk can also be washed down by rainwater into
another area such as brickwork below cladding. This is known
as chalk run-down. Either low quality paint or paint with a high
level of pigmentation can lead to premature decomposition,
causing chalking.
Cracking:
Dirt:
Fading:
Environmental factors such as the sun, wind and rain can cause
exterior metalwork to fade prematurely especially surfaces
facing the South and West. Chalking can also result in deficient
colour saturation as well as tinting a white coating that isn’t
intended for this purpose.
Mould:
Spots of brown, grey or black mildew can appear on coated
surfaces that are damp and do not receive much sunlight.
Sometimes mildew can look like dirt and vice versa, but mould
will spread if it is not dealt with even if it is painted over.
