Spray Gun Painting

Spray Gun Painting

There are a myriad of problems that can occur with interior painted surfaces. Some happen to a newly painted surface and others happen over time. The best way to handle these unfortunate painting problems is to be aware of how to take preventative measures before you begin applying new paint. The following are a couple of the more common problems and how to correct or prevent their return.

There is something that commonly occurs called 'blocking' when two surfaces that have been painted end up being stuck together like the door jamb sticking to the door. This can happen because there has not been enough time for the paint to dry completely before the door or windows were closed. It can also be the result of using an inferior grade of gloss or semi-gloss paint. Using a better grade of gloss or semi-gloss acrylic latex paint is an easy solution. The lower grade latex paint, especially in humid conditions, does not have enough block resistance to prevent blocking from happening.

Burnishing is something that happens when there is a lot of brushing or rubbing against the painted surface. It causes a glossy or high sheen to appear. Flat paint in areas that have high traffic can get rubbed so much that the once dull painted surface gets glossy spots. If there is a lot of spot cleaning in this high-traffic area then this can cause burnishing. When a piece of furniture is rubbing against the flat paint surface, shiny areas will appear. If the paint that was used does not have scrub or stain resistance then this is the forerunner of the burnishing effect.

Painted areas such as window sills, trim and doors, need a higher grade of latex paint to endure the excessive use and cleaning. Also, areas that have high use or traffic and need to be spot cleaned often should not be painted with a flat paint but rather a gloss or semi-gloss. These paints are easily cleaned by using a sponge or soft cloth and a cleanser that is not abrasive. If the washed area is rinsed with clean water it will not end up have the burnishing problem.

A problem that happens as soon as the paint has been applied is called sagging. It is where the paint looks like it is drooping and the coat of paint then looks very uneven. There are several reasons this can happen. It can be the result of paint that has been thinned out too much or it can be from using too much paint or too thick of a coat of paint. Using a spray gun to apply your paint and holding it too close to the surface can also cause sagging. Weather conditions like humidity or really cold conditions will also make the paint droop.

To correct this problem while the paint is still wet, quickly reroll it or brush it to spread the excess of paint out evenly before it dries. If it is too late and the paint has dried you can sand the area lightly and then put on a new coat with high grade paint after the residue of the sanding is removed. To avoid this type of problem you need to use the paint as intended and not heap the paint onto the surface.
