Painting Problems and Solutions

What is it?
  • Corrosion under cutting at welds.
Possible Causes
  • Painting over poorly prepared welded areas. The intense heat of welding leaves behind a thin oxidized carbon film layer at and around the welded area. This oxidized contaminant impairs paint adhesion.
  • Weld imperfections like rough welds, weld spatter or pin holes.
  • All of these defects result in inadequate covering of the surface by the subsequent paint coating.
  • Failure to remove weld scale.
How Can I Fix This Problem
  • Remove all weld contaminants by sanding or grit blasting. Wire brushing does not always work as it only tends to polish the surface.
  • Don’t hesitate to long prior to painting so as to avoid flash rust from occurring
