Show Good Paint Should Hide Surface When Applied In order to be a good pair.t It must hide or obliterate the surface to which It is applied. The oil used has negligible negli-gible hiding power, so It remains the duty of the pigment to do this. Here we must separate from each other two Ideas. One Is the hiding power or strength of n pigment, the oilier Is I he hiding power of the paint using the pigments. These two are ipil:'! different; the first Is a very great factor, fac-tor, though not the only factor Influencing Influ-encing the second. The scientist Is greatly concerned with the first, while the painter can s only for the second. Yet a strong hiding power paint cannot can-not be produced with a poor biding power pigment. |
