Weakening of Color (Fading)
Lightening of color in the paint that can be caused from sunny exposure and/or chalking.

Possible causes:
  • Usage of interior paint for outdoor surface
  • Usage of lower quality paint
  • Usage of paint color that is susceptible to UV radiation such as certain reds, blues and yellows


  • Solution:
    When chalking is present, clean the surface from chalking (see chalking problem). For repainting, use top quality exterior paint PERMACOAT® with recommended colors for outdoor.
