The most common problems when painting a wall

When we paint a wall we can face some problems. In most cases, these problems arise from the wall not being in good condition or not using the correct paint.

Below we see Most common problems that usually appear and solutions that can be implemented.

The most common problems when painting a wall

Paint runs on the wall

It is one of the most common problems and usually appears when The paint is very diluted .

Sometimes, depending on the paint, it is usually recommended to mix with water, and it may happen that it has been mixed With a large amount of water .

Paint coming off the wall

Sometimes when we pass the roller along the wall, we notice that the previous paint has peeled off from the wall.

The problem usually lies in the wall itself: He is not in good condition . This usually happens when the wall has some kind of moisture.

If you have a wet wall, it is better Solving the problem : First determine the type of moisture present in the wall and then repair it.

It can also happen that the paint is loose due to the presence of Salt on the wall . As with moisture, it is important to address the problem before painting.

If we do not have this type of humidity but we see that the paint is decomposing from the wall, we can choose Apply a layer of sealant beforehand So that the paint adheres well to the wall later.

After painting, spots appear on the wall

If we have a wall that has spots of mold, smoke, rust before painting, etc. It is so common for us to think that they will disappear with a fresh coat of paint.

recommend Cleaning the wall The entire surface to be painted. Preparation before painting is very important.

When the paint dries, it cracks

There are times when we paint the wall and it dries, then it cracks . In these cases, it is usually because the paint did not adhere properly to the wall.

Most likely, the wall It is not completely clean and there are traces of glue or grease .

So that this does not happen, it is better to clean the wall well before painting and to ensure good adhesion, apply A layer of primer And the paint is dry.

If it has already been painted and cracks occur in the paint, the process of solving the problem is the same: clean well, apply a coat of primer and once dry, paint.

Bubbles appear when painting the wall

If bubbles appear when painting the wall, the reasons can be diverse.

On the other hand, it could be from Stirring or shaking The paint is very strongly, therefore, Air enters the mixture, Which leads to the formation of bubbles or even foam.

Another reason may be the type of roller used. In the case of smooth walls, it is better to use rollers with short hair, because rollers with long hair or sponge rollers tend to produce bubbles.
