You’re staring at the wall.
There’s a little bubble.
A little flake.
And before you know it,
there’s a whole patch of peeling paint that won’t stop growing.

It’s not the end of the world
but it is something you want to fix the right way
so it doesn’t just keep happening.

Most of the time, peeling or cracked paint means one thing:
the surface wasn’t prepped properly
or moisture found its way in.

Either way, you’ve got a few easy steps to get it back in shape.

Here’s what to do:

Scrape
Use a paint scraper to remove all loose or flaking paint

Sand
Smooth the edges around the area so the new paint blends in

Prime
Apply a high-quality primer to seal the surface and prep it for paint

Paint
Once it’s dry, paint over it like nothing ever happened

That’s it.
Just four steps
and your wall is back to smooth and solid.

The key is not to rush.
Peeling paint looks like a small problem
but if you skip a step
you’ll be peeling it again in six months.

Still unsure where to start?
