Chipped paint refers to which condition?

• A. Paint is rubbing because of friction
• B. Delamination of top layers
• C. Ghost Wipes
• D. Pieces of paint are loosened or broken because of impact

Answer: (D)

Chipped paint describes paint that has sustained physical damage causing small pieces to break away from the surface. This happens when the surface is struck, knocked, or scraped, so fragments detach and leave irregular chips along the painted area. It’s different from delamination, where layers of the coating separate and may peel off as a sheet, usually due to moisture or aging. It also isn’t a result of friction wear, which tends to wear down the surface gradually rather than producing discrete chips. Ghost Wipes isn’t a paint condition at all. So chipped paint is best described as pieces of paint loosened or broken because of impact.
