Peeling paint looks bad but is easy to fix with the right technique.
What Causes Paint to Peel? Moisture, poor surface preparation, or low quality paint.
Step 1: Scrape off all loose peeling paint with a paint scraper.
Step 2: Sand the edges smooth where paint meets wall.
Step 3: Clean the wall with a damp cloth and let dry.
Step 4: Apply primer to the bare patches.
Step 5: Paint over with matching wall paint — two coats.
