PICTURE FRAMING

An appearance issue, usually where the brushed areas of a paint coating appears lighter or darker than the rolled areas.

POSSIBLE CAUSES

• Applying wet paint to the edge of dry or partially dry paint. • Sheen level and/or surface texture difference due to varying application techniques between brush and roller. • Insufficient stirring of the paint prior to application, leading to poor tinter incorporation. • Brushing may result in lower coverage rates than rolling, producing a thicker film leading to a colour/opacity difference.

SOLUTIONS

• Thoroughly stir the paint prior to use. • Work in smaller sections of the room to maintain a wet edge and overlap the brushed areas with the roller as far as possible.
