Picture Framing

Picture FramingDEFINITION
A non-uniform color effect that can appear when the corners are first cut in with a brush, and then the walls are rolled. The brushed areas generally appear darker, resembling the “frame” of a picture. Also, sprayed areas may be darker than adjacent sections that are brushed or rolled.

CAUSES
  • Usually a hiding (coverage) effect. Brushing will generally result in a thicker film than rolling.
  • Adding colorant to a non-tintable paint or using the wrong type or level of colorant.


FIXING PROBLEMDUNN-EDWARDS SOLUTIONS
Make sure that the paint is applied evenly when brushing and rolling. 
With tinted paints, be sure that the correct paint base - colorant combinations are used.
