Painting Problems and Solutions

What is it?
  • Non uniform colour that appears after a surface was painted with a roller and areas were finished of with a brush. Generally not associated with un tinted paint.
Possible Causes
  • The paint base and tinter is not compatible. The application pressure/shear are different for roller and brush application. A roller has a higher sheer rate compared to brushing and will thus help to wet out and disperse the colourant better compared to brushing. Colour from tin to tin can also vary depending on the method of agitation/mixing. More intense mixing will result in better colour development.
How Can I Fix This Problem
  • Ensure that the tinter development properties are similar for roller and brush. Test both application methods side by side on a small area before commencing with a project
