Thanks. I will check with BM and see what they say.

However, the contractor is reluctant to do any "free work" as he calls it.
He said the paint can fail due to hundreds of reasons and many of those are
beyond his control...I don't think there is any hope that I will be able to
get him to fix it, and if I pay him more, he will just pile another bad job
on one that is already bad.

Question now is what I need to do to repair this. Do I pressure wash the
wall again and have it repainted? Or can I spot treat?

Thanks,

MC



I would not pressure wash again on a new paint job. Chalking will come
off with brush and plain household cleaner; be sure to rinse and let
dry. You have CB and stucco?

Is this painter working alone? Recent import? You just need to visit BM
website to see that what his says is pure baloney. ALL the reasons for
failure are his to control, unless the surface is in such bad condition
that it will not support a coat of paint. In that case, too, he just
should not put paint on it. My guess is that he primed the day he pw,
and/or painted with sun beating on the surface. South or west side of
house the worst?
