Coating Peeling from substrate or the previous coat

Coating discoloured

Cloudy haze on top of the coating

Cloudy haze in the coating

Coating or cracking from substrate or previous coat

Bubbles in the coating

Coating efforvessing like champagne

Coating drwing away in circular fashion from the substrate

White "cob-web" trails being sprayed from the gun

Coating or substrate cracking or crazing

Dirt, dust or overspray in the coating

Substrate or clear coating changing colour

Ridge of the pigment in the dry or liquid coating

Seperation of the pigment in the dry or liquid coating

Uneven appearance when dry

The surface of the coating pulls back resulting in raised ridges that can be seen and felt

Coating film easily marked

Substrate or previous coats showing through the last coat

Uneven finish that resembles the skin of an orange

Dry paint particles that have been spryaed and not formed a smooth film, resulting in a rough sandy feel and appearance

Blotchy and uneven stains

High and low gloss spots in the dried coating

Small pinholes visible in the dry coating

Coating cracking, lifting, delaminating etc.

Defects in the film after transporting

Coating moves and runs on vertical surfaces

Seperation of coating in the can or pail

Noticable defects in the dry film

Coating tacky or wet after the recommended drying time has elapsed

Lines of differing colours in the dried coating

Lines of metallic streaks in the dried coating

Coating becomes thicker in the can over time
