If blisters occur, first scrap the surface to remove the blisters and sand the surface. Use a high quality water-based primer and repaint with a high quality water-based paint.
2. Chalking: In chalking, the protective moisture seal is lost due to the loss of adhesion and flexibility. It can be caused due to the use of a low-cost, highly pigmented paint or using an interior paint for exterior painting.
To solve the problem, first chalk the surface as much as you can and then rinse thoroughly with a garden hose. Repaint with a good quality exterior coating.

3.Lapping: It is the appearance of a denser color or higher gloss where wet and dry layers overlap during paint application.It is usually caused due to the failure of maintaining a wet edge while painting. The possible solution can be to maintain a wet edge while you paint. This can be achieved by pointing towards the unpainted area and then back into the just-painted area. This will leave a smooth, uniform appearance.
