# Why did my new paint start peeling after only six months? | Time Paints

The most likely cause is skipped preparation. Painting directly over unprimed, highly alkaline plaster or failing old paint prevents a proper bond. In the Saudi climate, these skipped steps lead to rapid delamination (the paint lifting away). Always use an alkali-resistant primer on new walls.
