Solve Potential Paint Problems

Reddish-brown stains on the paint surface are called nail head rusting and are usually a sign that the surrounding wood may be rotting.

What are the possible causes?

  • Non-galvanized iron nails exposed to moisture
  • Nails not properly countersunk
  • Nail heads not caulked with siliconized caulk before painting
  • Frequent exposure to damp wood

What is the solution?

  • Completely remove the nail and replace with a new nail
  • Wire brush each nail head until bare shiny metal
  • Clean and spot priming with appropriate Berger primer
  • Caulk nail heads with paintable Berger acrylic caulk
  • Topcoat with premium Berger acrylic or oil paint
