Touch Up Difference

Description:

Areas of indifferent colour with signs of application directionality

Possible Diagnosis:

• Touching up with a poorly colour matched paint.
• Touching up with the original retained paint while the existing coat has faded.
• The touch up has been stored for a prolonged period of time and has degraded or colour developed.
• Different types or batches of paint
• Using application techniques that differ from the original e.g. touching up with a brush when the original coat was applied by roller.

Remedy:

• Colour match before commencing with painting.
• Recoat entire area from edge to edge/corner to corner
