Should this paint be considered deteriorated?

Ask this question. Is the paint peeling, chipping, chalking, cracking, or damaged?
  1. If the answer is YES, then the paint should be considered deteriorated.
  2. If the paint is deteriorated, it must be repaired. Additionally, if the substrate is damaged it too must be repaired.
Practical Exercise
Note: You will not be asked to identify tack or nail holes, small hairline cracks or other surface imperfections that are stable. However, for areas larger than hairline cracks, you should consider the paint to be deteriorated.
