Description

Rust spots come through the paint. Preventable with proper surface preparation and priming.

 

 

 

 

Probable Cause

  • Improper surface preparation.

  • Use of nails not protected against rusting.

  • Failure to countersink, and apply rust inhibitive primer.

  • Painting over rusty nailheads, in a short time the rust will bleed through again.

 

Solutions

  • Countersink the nails, spot prime and use acrylic caulk.

  • Rust spots will reappear if you repaint over the rusty spots caused by nails or other rusting metals without prescribed preventative measures.

  • Specify galvanized, aluminium or stainless steel nails.

 

Primers & Interior Finishes

  • Priming is essential for better adhesion, sheen uniformity, mildew control and durability.

  • Select a top quality California Paints exterior paint in the color and sheen of your choice.
