BRUSH/ROLLER MARKS BRUSH/ROLLER MARKS The unintentional textured pattern left in the paint by a brush or roller.
POSSIBLE CAUSES • Painting with low quality/incorrect application tools. • Poor application technique (eg. applying paint too quickly or excessively). • Re-brushing or re-rolling partially dried painted areas. • Poor conditions during the application or drying period (eg. hot substrates and/or high air temperatures).
SOLUTIONS • Lightly sand the affected areas to a smooth finish and repaint. • Ensure paint is applied using a consistent application technique (eg. applying even roller pressure from top to bottom), whilst maintaining a wet edge. • Ensure high quality and recommended application equipment is used. • Ensure application and drying conditions conform to manufacturer’s recommendations. • Under hot or very windy conditions, the recommended level of thinning agent may be added for improved application. 5
