| Poor Stain Resistance
|
 |
Failure of the paint to resist absorption of dirt and stains.
Possible Cause:
Use of lower quality paint that is porous in nature.
Application of paint to unprimed substrate.
Solution:
Higher quality latex paints contain more binder and/or special pigments. These help prevent stains from penetrating the painted surface, and allow for easy removal. Priming new surfaces with the correct primer provides maximum film thickness of a premium top coat, providing very good stain removability.
