Paint Incompatibility

Causes

• Use of water-based paint over multiple coats of old oil-based paint causes the old paint to “lift off” the surface

Solutions

• Remove all loose paint down to the bare surface. If you’re using liquid removers, be sure to wear long sleeves and gloves to protect your arms and hands from splashes.
• Prime any bare surface with a high-quality primer and allow it to dry thoroughly.
• Paint with a high-quality paint in the desired finish.
