Shriveling / Wrinkling film problem

Color Film Shriveling / Wrinkling This is a problem with the paint surface characterized by lines or wrinkles, which may result from poor surface preparation or incorrect timing in painting.

Causes of Color Film Shriveling

• Paint applied too thickly / Primer or first coat not dry enough, causing the outer surface to dry faster than the underlying paint.
• Painting in humid conditions, such as rain, dew, fog, or high humidity.
• Painting on dirty surfaces with contaminants sticking to them.

Solutions for Color Film Shriveling

• Scrape off all the wrinkled paint and sand it down. Then prepare the surface properly by allowing it to dry completely, especially before applying the next coat.
• If the surface has been in use for a long time, it is recommended to apply a primer first, such as Beger Pro Quick Primer B-1900 for old plaster.
• Apply a new topcoat 1-2 times. It is recommended to use the following paint systems:
  • Oil-based paints like BegerShield Diamond SuperGloss Enamel or BegerCool SuperGloss Enamel.
  • 2In1 gloss coating systems like BegerShield Griptech 2In1 or Bull Rust Tech 2In1.

Recommendations

Before starting any work, it is essential to check the weather conditions, especially when using oil-based paints, which take longer to dry. Avoid using slow-drying oil paints during periods of high humidity or when rain is imminent.
