This expensive mistake could've been avoided with ONE simple step! Here's what actually happened: ❌ Paint applied directly to unprepared surface ❌ No primer used ❌ Poor adhesion = paint failure The RIGHT way to paint: ✅ Clean the surface thoroughly ✅ Apply quality primer first ✅ Use compatible paint types ✅ Allow proper drying time between coats Why primer matters: • Creates a bonding layer between surface and paint • Seals porous surfaces • Prevents paint from peeling like this • Saves you money in the long run Don't let this be your ceiling! That "quick" paint job without primer just cost someone hundreds in repairs + redoing the entire job. PRO TIP: Always prime, especially on: • Previously painted surfaces • New drywall • Stained or discolored areas • Glossy surfaces Save this post before your next paint project! 📌 Have you ever skipped primer and regretted it?
