Causes: - Using an interior grade or a lightly pigmented paint leading to rapid degradation - Using a color that isn't light fast - Tinting white paint not intended for tinting - Over tinting - All colors will fade somewhat over a long duration Solutions: - Remove all loose paint and other particles with a wire brush before repainting - All chalking must be removed (refer to chalking, another exterior problem solving tip) - Rinse thoroughly with a garden hose - For the best and quickest results, use a power washer |
