Introduction
Type of Building: Public
Peeling can be referred to as the splitting of a dry paint film through at least one coat as a result of aging, which ultimately would lead to complete failure of the paint [1-2]. In its early stages, the problem appears as hairline cracks; in its later stages, flaking occurs.
