Common Issues for Interior Surfaces 
Poor Stain Resistance 
Possible Causes 
 

Poor stain resistance is the failure of the paint to resist absorption of dirt and stains.

  • Use of the wrong type of paint (eg: ceiling paint on walls)
  • Use of a lower quality paint
  • Applying paint to an unprimed substrate

Solution 
 
Use an ultra premium quality acrylic paint, they contain more binder which helps keep stains from penetrating the paint film allowing for easier removal.
  • Prime new surfaces for maximum film thickness, which results in easier stain removal.
