They mean well, it looks good for a few weeks and then they blame the lack or preparation as the cause for the failure. Understanding Why Surfaces That Are Painted Fail The failure can be caused by a number of factors but the most important one that I have seen is the lack of knowledge and science used when refinishing these surfaces.
