Solve Potential Paint Problems
These reddish brown stains are caused by the rusting of nails on the painted surface.
What are the possible causes?
- Bleeding of rust to the top coat from non galvanised iron nails
- Rust from galvanised nail heads due to sanding and extreme weathering
How can I fix the problem?
- Before painting on a new surface which uses non galvanised nails, countersink the nailheads, and caulk with a high quality water based acrylic caulk.
- Spot prime each nailhead and paint with a quality latex coating.
- If you’re trying to fix existing nailhead rusting, wash off rust stains and sand the nailheads. Then, countersink, caulk and spot prime as above. Paint with a high quality latex coating.
We recommend you use this painting system to avoid this problem the next time around:
