There are a lot of cures, mostly not using paint. But that is not the problem today. It is failure of paint indoors, where it should not fail under any circumstances. But it does. Let us count the ways, and the reasons.
Ceilings peel like crazy.
A major reason, particularly if the paint peels immediately after new paint is applied, is that the ceiling was painted with calcimine, and nothing but calcimine will stick to old calcimine. Actually, the calcimine is now called Kal-Kote, or some similar name, but it does the job. And, if the homeowner knows there is calcimine on the ceiling, then Kal-Kote will do the job. But if the calcimine were painted over, and then peeled, the only cure is to remove everything, which is not easy, down to the plaster or plasterboard. Paint is best removed with chemical paint remover or sanding, both of which make a colossal mess, and is miserable work.
