POOR STAIN RESISTANCE

Failure of the paint to resist absorption of dirt and stains.

POSSIBLE CAUSES:

• Use of lower quality paint that is porous in nature.
• Application of paint to unprimed substrate.

SOLUTION:

• Higher quality latex paints contain more binder, which helps prevent stains from penetrating the painted surface, allowing for easy removal.
• Priming new surfaces provides maximum film thickness of a premium top coat, providing very good stain removability.
