I live in a rental and my SO and I decided to repaint to cover the horrible work of the last tenants and the landlord.
As I started prepping the walls (filling, sanding, etc) the current paint coat just strarted to flake off, revealing the old paint. And not bits at a time. If I just rub the wall with my finger tip (not nail) the paint just falls off. If I rub it with my palm its like snow flakes. And his is happening everywhere!
ANy idea what's going on? It's not just little bits or certain sections, so I don't think it's because of poor preparation between there coats. The whole damn coat is coming off.
