a local repair or prior coating needs preparation before a new finish is considered. Prepare and touch up the agreed small accessible exterior areas with compatible materials, keeping the repair boundaries clear.
Signs: the surface is scuffed, patchy, weathered or no longer presents evenly or a local repair or prior coating needs preparation before a new finish is considered. Causes: normal use, weather exposure or aged coating or surface damage that needs preparation before finishing.
Keep the treated area clear of contact and water as the selected product requires. Drying depends on the substrate and conditions. Completion of the local application is not a guarantee against future paint failure caused by an unresolved issue outside the agreed work.
Keep the paint label or colour reference where available. An original colour can still look different beside a weathered finish. A sample supports discussion, but no exact invisible match should be promised solely from a colour code or phone photograph.
Follow curing instructions and expect that weathered surrounding paint can limit the match. Discuss wider repainting separately if needed. Limits: Small accessible sound exterior spots only. No full exterior restoration, waterproofing, hazardous coating disturbance or specialist high-access work.
