What Does Picture Framing Look Like?

Picture framing, or brush or roller marks, occurs when painting a surface and the brush or roller creates a noticeable border effect at the beginning and end of the painting process. This results in visible lines that resemble a framed effect on the surface. It can appear as different layers of color between areas painted with a brush or roller.

Causes of the Problem:

**Poor Paint Quality:** Using low-quality or inappropriate paint can lead to picture framing issues. Poor-quality paint may not spread evenly on the surface, and paint that is too thick can also contribute to the formation of visible lines.

**Paint Quantity:** Using too much or too little paint can cause picture framing problems. Adjusting the paint quantity to suit the surface being painted helps mitigate this issue.

**Painting Technique:** Incorrect or inconsistent painting techniques can create lines or patterns on the surface, contributing to the problem of picture framing.

**Quality of Painting Tools:** Using inadequate or low-quality brushes or rollers can result in picture framing issues due to uneven application or poor paint distribution.

**Painting Environment:** Unsuitable environmental conditions, such as high temperatures and humidity, can affect the painting process and contribute to the development of picture framing.

“Resolving this issue may require various methods and techniques, such as using higher-quality paint, adjusting the amount of paint used, and employing appropriate painting techniques for the environment. Additionally, using high-quality and suitable painting tools can help reduce the problem.”

Consequences

“This can affect paint absorption, color durability, and the uniformity of the paint job. There may be variations in color depth or differences in the texture of the applied paint, resulting in an unattractive and low-quality surface due to uneven paint distribution and poor light reflection.”

Solutions

**Choose Appropriate Paint:** Select high-quality paint with sufficient viscosity to ensure proper surface coverage. Opt for paint with good spreading properties to prevent picture framing.

**Use Proper Painting Techniques:** Employ suitable painting techniques, such as using a small brush for detailed areas or a roller for even paint distribution. This ensures the paint blends well with the surface.

**Adjust Paint Quantity:** Use the right amount of paint to prevent uneven flow and inadequate coverage. Applying the appropriate quantity of paint helps achieve a smooth and consistent finish.

**Modify Painting Methods:** Tailor painting techniques to the surface conditions and desired results to ensure a flawless and aesthetically pleasing outcome.

**Test and Refine:** Experiment with different methods and techniques, adjusting based on the results to achieve the desired finish.

**Recommended Rollers:** We recommend KEIM rollers, which include wool or nylon rollers. For 9-inch rollers, use long-haired rollers (11 mm), and for 6-inch rollers, use short-haired rollers (6-8 mm).

“Addressing the issue of picture framing with brushes or rollers may require time and effort for experimentation and adjustment. However, achieving even paint distribution and good coverage will result in a beautiful and high-quality finish.”
