Solve Potential Paint Problems

The easy wearing away of paint when scrubbed with a brush, sponge, or cloth is indicative of a paint which is exhibiting poor scrub resistance.

What are the possible causes?

Insufficient time allowed for paint to fully dry before washing or scrubbing
Use of an abrasive cleaner
Choosing the wrong product or sheen for the area
Using low quality paint
Overly aggressively scrubbing the painted area

What is the solution?

Areas requiring frequent washing will require a high quality paint formulated especially to provide such performance
High traffic areas may require a silk, semi-gloss or gloss rather than a flat paint
Allow adequate dry time, as scrub resistance will not fully develop until the paint has thoroughly cured. Typically, 5 days
Use non-abrasive material and mild detergent where possible

We recommend you use these painting systems in order of base coat, first coat, and second coat:
