One gallon of paint is stated to cover 400 sq ft at the recommended film thickness. If you apply it too thin to stretch coverage to 500 sq ft, what is the likely result?
a.Reduced film thickness leading to poor hide, durability, and early failure
b.Improved durability from the thinner film
c.Higher gloss and better protection
d.No change because coverage is unlimited
Explicación
Spreading paint beyond its rated coverage reduces the dry film thickness below spec, hurting hide, washability, and weather protection. The coating may fail prematurely. Applying at the manufacturer's recommended spread rate ensures the intended performance.
