peeling paint
Wall's shedding skin
Paint that is separating from its surface in flakes or strips, typically due to age, moisture, or poor adhesion.
Peeling paint suggests neglect or decay: The old house had peeling paint and a sagging porch.
It appears frequently in descriptions of deteriorating buildings or as a marker of poverty and disrepair.
