What are the factors that affect the appearance of a painted surface?
The 5 factors listed below determine how paint (or stain) will look on any given surface: -the type of paint -the thickness or thinness of the paint -the method of application (roller, brush or spray) -amount and intensity of light and the angle of the light source -the composition, color and condition of the underlying substrate Each of these factors plays a separate and distinct role in the appearance of any painted surface. For each Client, we will produce a “properly painted surface,” defined as one that is uniform in color and sheen as determined by viewing the surface without magnification from a distance of 15 feet or more under normal, ambient lighting conditions and from a normal or customary viewing position or location. Painting gutters and shutters is not included in the usual and customary Estimated cost of gutter or downspout installation. We will not paint shutters at all. Anything else to be painted must be specified in this Estimate, agreement or contract.
