Why is the paint coming off my walls so easily?

New drywall was put up, over that Kilz latex primer, over that Behr latex paint was used on most of the walls. The walls got two coats of paint. You barely have to bump the wall with something or lean something against the wall and a piece of paint will chip off or a spot will be rubbed off. Is that just the way latex paint is? Is Behr paint crappy? Or the primer was a bad choice? Or a combination of both? It's pretty frustrating and you can tell where the walls are touched up, because a semi-gloss or stain finish must not take well to touch ups.Why is the paint coming off my walls so easily?
I've used those same paints on new and old drywall. I've put Behr right on new


sheetrock w/o primer. Could there be a moisture problem inside the wall?


Basements commonly get that way. Is it the whole wall that does this? It's


just not right.





Talk to a paint specialty store, like Sherwin Williams. They can discuss this


problem, and they will recognize that you've done everything possible to get


good paint adhesion.Why is the paint coming off my walls so easily?
Sounds like a rush job on the painting and not letting everything dry well enough between coats. Behr is a great paint and primer is good.
