1. Probable Cause / Reason
• Surface movement or vibration causing the coating to split.
• Moisture cycles (wetting and drying) and thermal expansion.
• Coating lacks flexibility or is too brittle.
• Excessively thick paint layers, especially around welds or sharp edges.
2. Correction
• Remove cracked areas completely by sanding or blasting.
• Recoat using a more flexible or suitable paint system.
• Apply paint in thinner, controlled layers to reduce internal stress.
• Address structural issues causing excessive movement or stress.
3. Corrective Action / Prevention
• Use flexible coatings designed to handle surface movement and expansion.
• Apply paint with proper technique and within recommended thickness.
• Choose coating systems appropriate for the substrate and environmental conditions.
