Poor
Hiding: Failure of dried paint to obscure or "hide"
the surface to which it is applied.
Possible Causes:
Use of a low quality paint.
Use of low quality tools-wrong roller cover.
Use of an improper combination of tinting base and tinting
color.
Poor flow and leveling (see Poor Flow-Leveling).
Use of a paint that is much lighter in color than the
substrate, or that primarily contains low-hiding organic
pigments.
Application of paint at a higher spread rate than
recommended.
Solution:
If the substrate is significantly darker or is a patterned
wallpaper, it should be primed before applying a top coat.
Use a top quality paint for better hiding and flow. Use
quality tools; use the recommended roller nap, if rolling.
Follow manufacturer's recommendation on spread rate; if
using tinted paint, use the correct tinting base. Where a
low-hiding organic color must be used, apply a primer
first. |
