The issue of paint not covering the surface properly is a common problem in various situations, whether it’s painting a house, interior or exterior decorating, or selling products for surface coatings. These problems can arise from several causes, including the following:

The causes of the problem

**Improper Surface Preparation:** Inadequate surface preparation can prevent the paint from fully covering the surface. This may include failing to use a proper primer suitable for the surface that needs to be painted.
**Poor Paint Quality:** Choosing low-quality paint or paint that is not appropriate for the surface can result in insufficient coverage.
**Insufficient Paint Application:** Applying an insufficient amount of paint or applying it too thinly can lead to poor coverage, especially when using translucent paint.
**Environmental Factors:** Environmental conditions, such as high temperature and humidity, can also affect the paint’s ability to cover the surface properly.
“Addressing the issue of paint not covering the surface may require different approaches depending on the root cause. If the problem stems from inadequate surface preparation, start by thoroughly cleaning and prepping the surface before painting. If the issue is related to paint quality, consider using high-quality paint that is suitable for the job. If the problem is caused by insufficient paint application, apply additional coats and choose a paint with adequate thickness to ensure full coverage.”

The consequences

If primer is not used, multiple top coats may be needed to cover the surface. The consequence of this is that, once the paint dries, it may result in peeling or flaking of the paint film, leading to higher costs and increased time expenditure.

Problem Solving

**Surface Preparation:** Prepare the surface appropriately for painting to ensure better adhesion and blending of the paint.

**Choosing the Right Paint:** Select paint with the appropriate viscosity and opacity, as indicated on the product label or packaging.

**Proper Painting Technique:** Paint in the direction of the surface and use the correct amount of paint to avoid issues with uneven coverage.

**Using Painting Techniques:** Apply suitable painting techniques, such as using a primer to improve coverage on difficult surfaces.

**Using Quality Paint:** Use high-quality, certified paint for the best results.

**Consulting Experts:** Seek advice from painting professionals or experts for accurate and suitable solutions.

**Recommended Paint Products:** For both interior and exterior use, KEIM Silicate Colors Soldalith and KEIM Silicate Colors Innotop are recommended. These products can be applied in just two coats without the need for a primer, as KEIM paints, derived from natural mineral fibers, have high pigment concentration, maximizing time and cost efficiency.

“Addressing coverage issues may require experimentation and adjustments, but ensuring good paint coverage will result in a better finish and long-term environmental friendliness.”
