GLOSSARY TERM
Levelling
The ability of a paint to flow out and form a smooth, even surface without brush or roller marks.
INFO
What it is
Levelling is the ability of wet paint to flow out after application and form a smooth, even surface, erasing the marks left by the spray, brush, or roller.
Why it matters
Good levelling is what gives a finish its smooth, mark-free appearance. Poor levelling leaves texture, ridges, or stipple in the dried film, which detracts from the quality of the result.
Where it is used on a project
A factor in every coating job, and especially visible on gloss and satin finishes on doors, metalwork, and large flat surfaces.
How NECC approaches it
By spraying at the correct viscosity with quality coatings, we help the paint level out properly, achieving the smooth, even finish that defines good spray work.
