GLOSSARY TERM
Feathering
The technique of blending paint edges to create a smooth transition between painted and unpainted areas.
INFO
What it is
Feathering is the technique of blending the edge of freshly applied paint gradually into the surrounding surface, so there is no visible line or ridge where the new coating ends.
Why it matters
Without feathering, repairs and partial coats leave a hard edge that stands out. Feathered edges merge old and new seamlessly, which is essential for invisible repairs and touch-ups.
Where it is used on a project
Used in touch-up work, spot repairs, and partial resprays where only part of a surface is being recoated and the result needs to blend with the rest.
How NECC approaches it
For repairs and partial work, we feather edges carefully so new coatings blend into the existing finish, leaving a uniform surface with no obvious patch.
