Chalking is a natural degradation of a paint film when exposed to weathering. It results from chemical reactions with the oxygen in the air and may be accelerated by the ultraviolet light from the Sun. Some common causes of excessive chalking include application of a topcoat to an unsealed surface, overspreading the paint, or poor quality paint.
