As defined in BS 2015 Glossary of paint and Related Turms. Breaks, which are wide and extensice but do not penetrate to the substrate. The presence of the particals of gel flacculated material or foreign matter in the coating material. Could be partially cured paint, out of shelf life. The solvent from the top coat softens the under laying material and allows it to pass into and through the layer, Causing discolouration of new applied paint, Brown for bitumen, Yellow for coal Tars. Blisters can be filled with Gas, Liquid or Crystals(Popingup the paint film, Farmation like dome shap). Flat finish with milky appearance. Loss of glass & milky appearance due to moisture setting on wett paint. Slightly breaks in the film that does not penetrate to the substratet. Degradation of a bonder due to discruptive factors in the environment. Caused by inadequate surface preparation. A difference in surface energy causes local lack of adhesion. A failure of paint form continuous film due to oil & grease present on the surface

Coating age and differentional expaian (Breaks extending to the substrate). It is due to high film built, Over application on very hot surface, fast drying coating such as Inorganic Zinc-Rish Primers & Vanyl,s.
Bown shaped depressions. Caused by escaping solvent or Gases. Paint is of too low a viscosity to flow and fill the depressions also called a pitting, Small uniform identification to the substrate. It occurred inchemical cured painting as a result of a) Water or oil in the coating b) Water or oil in the substrate b) Improperly farmulated coating material. Mateial progressivelly gets brittle with age, cracks and begins to detach. separation of constituentsin the Tie & their refusal to be stirred back to gather again. Caused by over application. remove offending excess material, lightly abrade & Recoat. Too much paint or thinner per coat, insuficient paint body, temrature too low of failure to completely mix pigment. Seeing the underlaying coats through finish coat. A void, missed OR an uncoated area. Caused by slovent strength and also lack of observance of stated overcoating time. Saftening & expansion of a coating by the solvents a newly applied paint. Strokes of paint visible after after the paint has dried.

Similar appearance to a citrus fruit skin. Caused by paint viscosity problems oron bythe applicator technique. Bursh marks paint, hair hogs left on the surfacePoor leveling & properties of coating material. Usually due to the internal formation of the surface skin (Topcoat strong solvent). The formation of soap by the reaction of a fetty acid ester and and alkali.
