- Applying deep tones, bright reds or yellows without UV-resistant protection
- Accumulation of surface contaminants like chalk or dirt that alter the visual tone
Causes:
RECOMMENDED SOLUTIONS
- Power wash or scrub the surface to remove any chalk, dirt or mildew that may cause uneven appearance or premature fading.
- Allow the surface to fully dry before applying paint.
- When repainting faded areas, use one to two coats of fade-resistant Valspar® exterior paint.
- For maximum color longevity, consider a satin or semi-gloss finish, which offers slightly better protection against UV than flat or matte finishes.
RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS
Note: Choose paint bases and pigments specifically rated for exterior use, especially when using saturated or bold colors.
