G'Day All,
I have been painting my house interior and I have just about finished (Yay!) in the last room (downstairs bedroom) I have had to strip the paint of the ceiling as it was starting to crack and peel. OK, no problem, scrape off the flakes and plaster to bring level, sand and paint, right!...wrong, the paint just peeled like wallpaper with very little effort.
All of the walls are painted with the same paint (pink) Eww!..they are fine as far as the paint staying where it is supposed too. There was the hall and toilet all in close proxcimity to each other. The only thing that I can think of is the paint is out of the one tin, and for some reason was a bad batch, the rest of the house was done in the same paint (brand) at the same time, KMart brand.
Would my guess be close to the mark, I am just curious as to why this has only happened in this section of the house, the house was painted by the previous owner about 5-6yrs ago.:)
