Ø Painting in an unfavourable environment. (Ideal Condition 10oC to 32oC and ᶲ 90%)
Ø Under estimating the corrosive nature of sea air and not applying enough paint coats.
Ø Using paint which is too thick or too thin.
Ø Incorrect mixing of two pack paints.
Ø Prolonged exposure to the environment. (engine fumes)
Ø Expansion and contraction of the metal surface which loosens inelastic paint.
