Repair steps
Remove Loose or Flaking Paint
Use a putty knife or paint scraper to gently peel off all loose and flaking paint from the wall surface.
Clean the Wall Surface
Wash the wall with a mild detergent solution to remove dirt, grease, and dust. Rinse with clean water and let it dry completely.
Sand the Edges
Sand the area around the peeled spots to smooth edges between painted and bare areas.
Apply Primer
Apply a suitable primer to the bare wall areas to improve paint adhesion and seal the surface. Allow it to dry according to manufacturer instructions.
Repaint the Wall
Apply paint that matches the existing wall color using a brush or roller. Apply multiple thin coats if necessary, allowing each coat to dry.
