Very hard surfaces are harder to bind to because the paint attaches very strongly to itself, but much less strongly to the covered surface. Plaster walls can develop a chalkiness on their surface, and the paint won't stick well because the chalk is loose.

Possible causes: Use of lower quality paints that have inadequate adhesion and flexibility. Over thinning or overspreading the paint. Inadequate surface preparation, e.g. Not applying a sealer or primer on porous surfaces prior to top coating.

“Acrylic paint lasts the longest and is also known for resisting all sorts of damage caused by weather and other natural variables. Acrylic paint is also excellent for resisting fading or damage caused by exposure to the sun, making it perfect for homes located in hot regions or climates.”

How long does leftover paint last? If stored correctly, leftover paint should last for up to two years.

Why is paint flaking off my wall? ›

Environmental factors such as intense sunlight and high temperatures can contribute to excessive dryness on the wall surface. This in turn increases the evaporation rate, causing moisture to be drawn out from the wall faster. As a result, the paint dries out too quickly and becomes more likely to peel.

Unfavorable drying conditions

A very high temperature can lead to wrinkling or lifting due to the top coat drying faster than the bottom. On the flip side, extremely cold conditions can cause wrinkling/lifting to occur as well. And, rain can also lead to lifting/wrinkling.

A paint coating will have great difficulty adhering to the substrate (new or previously painted, interior or exterior) if any surface contaminants such as dirt, dust, oil, grease, mould, mildew, algae, salt, or other loose or powdery substance is present on the surface.

“Cool tones like soft blues, greens, and grays are usually better choices,” explains Brackett. Not only do they evoke a sense of calm and peacefulness, but they also can read like neutrals. Farrow & Ball's Green Blue (No. 84) is the just-right hue for this bathroom.

White is, of course, always a good paint choice, because it feels elegant, fresh and clean. Plus, Gibbons says, “black and white are the most timeless colors you'll find anywhere and the most timeless color combination.”

Timeless is a brighter white than the likes of Wimborne White, with a lovely softness, which means it can be used in traditional and contemporary surroundings alike. Timeless is a pure white, no undertones, but somehow it has a softness to it which matches so well with all colours paired with it.
