Why Is My Paint Bubbling or Blistering?

Bubbles or blisters form when the paint film loses adhesion or pressure develops beneath it. Heat, moisture and application conditions can all play a role.

Interior bubbling

If bubbling appears near bathrooms, kitchens, windows or plumbing, rule out ongoing moisture before repairing the finish.

Exterior blistering

Sun-heated surfaces, trapped moisture and coating compatibility can contribute to exterior blistering.

Repair the cause first

Scraping and repainting without correcting the source can lead to the same failure again.
