适用范围：<p>During construction of a home, paints are subjected to a wide variety of drying conditions, and this may exhibit differences between the original coat and the touched-up area in appearance after its full cure. Therefore, it it essential for the paint to be able to perform under a wide variety of drying conditions. A paint that does this is very advantageous to the contractor.</p> <p>It is possible for a paint to have excellent color touch-up, but poor sheen touch-up, or vice-versa. The ideal paint will have both excellent color and sheen touch-up under testing conditions.</p> <p>Color, gloss and base choice can have a major impact on touch-up of the paint.</p><p id="s00002">1.1 This practice determines the ability of a paint to be recoated or <span class=''unicode''>x201C;</span>touched up<span class=''unicode''>x201D;</span> in small areas.
