paint gone bad or is just cheap paint? Painted with name brand exterior paint and after 2 weeks still can scrape off paint with fingernail and when It rained the paint got really soft and can scrape it off way to easily. It is satin finish. Should I have gotten satin enamel for a hard surface? It also changes sheen when it is rubbed gets shinier, and when wet you can see where it was brushed as opposed to rolled. Also it has an odor of moth balls or mildew which I have never smelled before in any paint. Is it possible that the ink dye they used has gone bad? The store is a small hardware store and that dye could be very old, or generic and not compatible with this brand??? I am thinking of scraping it off and painting over it with a high quality paint just to be safe, or just painting over top and hope that it will cure the bad paint and harden it. Will this work?
