The condition of faded and not durable exterior paint often makes it annoying to look at. It's not uncommon for it to cross your mind that the wall paint product used is one of the causes. However, peeling and faded exterior wall paint can occur for several reasons. One of the most common is not using the correct technique. Mistakes in painting the exterior of a house can cause the color to fade quickly and the paint to not last long. Often, you as a homeowner do not consider the painting process because you don't want to be complicated and waste time. However, this is important for determining the durability of the exterior wall paint on your house.
To prevent exterior paint from fading quickly, it is best to know some common mistakes that occur in the process of painting a house's exterior.
The wall surface is not clean and dry
The condition of the wall surface affects the final painting result. Before starting the painting process, first ensure that the wall is clean and dry. This is because dirt can prevent the wall paint from adhering perfectly, making it easily fade or even peel. Also, ensure that the condition of the entire wall surface is even, so there are no lumps when painted. Broken paint lumps will affect the area around the lumps, leading to peeling in other areas.

Painting walls during cloudy or rainy weather
It should be noted that painting the exterior of a house during the rainy season will make the wall layers easily peel off due to wetness. It is best to do the painting during the dry season or when the weather is clear, so that the exterior paint dries perfectly and quickly.
Incorrect exterior paint selection
Before painting, you should pay attention to the type of paint used. Do not use interior paint for exterior use, as interior paint cannot withstand sunlight or extreme weather changes.
Specifically for house exteriors, it is recommended to use Sunguard All-In-One, a high-quality exterior wall paint made from 100% superior acrylic, specially formulated without lead and mercury to protect exterior surfaces from extreme weather for up to 15 years.
The special formula of Sunguard All-In-One Exterior Wall Paint can withstand heat, making room temperatures 5˚C cooler, and colors do not fade easily due to excellent UV protection.

Re-applying paint layers that are not yet dry
It is best not to ignore the condition of the first coat of paint that is still wet or not completely dry and immediately apply a second coat to the wall. This makes the exterior paint easily peel off.
These are some tips you should follow before painting the exterior of your house. Always pay attention to the above, so that your house can continue to look beautiful and attractive!
