Hmm. Haven't commented on this prior, but.. the walls are too 
artificial. While its a good look, walls don't peel quite like that, 
which I think if the problem. There would be color differences in the 
paint itself, lighted in "protected" spots, and discolored in others. 
Their might be bleed through of texture from individual panels (if wall 
board), or other materials, where the same disruptions that peeled the 
paint has warped the underlying material. Also, more protected areas may 
be less patchy, due to be less exposed to the conditions that caused the 
peel, and others might have much bigger patches missing, due to being 
more exposed to the same.

It doesn't "look" uniform, but... its too obviously algorithmic. Too 
"cleanly" non-uniformly damaged. If you get what I mean.

Its one of the things that bugs me about this stuff, and why I never 
dove that far into it over the years, instead of just once in a while. 
POVRay textures are good, when you can't see, in the scale, the 
repetitiveness of them, but not so good in scenes like this, but.. on 
the other hand, I suck even more at "painting" believable details, using 
a static, non-generated texture. lol
