Paint is blistering or flaking.
This is often due to moisture. Make sure the surface is completely dry before painting and that the paint is applied in thin, even coats.
Paint is not covering well.
Apply a second coat, ensuring proper drying time between coats. On very dark surfaces, a primer may be needed.
Mould or mildew is growing on the painted surface.
