Detailed solutions from PPG Porter® to the most common paint problems faced by both painting professionals and do-it-yourselfers.
How-To
Poor Stain Resistance:
Failure of the paint to resist absorption of dirt and stains.Possible Causes
- * use of a lower-quality paint
- * applying paint to an unprimed substrate
Solutions
Use a high-quality acrylic latex paint. It contains more binder, which helps keep stains from penetrating the paint film, allowing for easier removal. Prime new surfaces for maximum film thickness.
