Hello everyone,
In our new build, we have a continuous line above the baseboard in several rooms (it looks like a pencil mark). There are various assumptions about how this line appeared, but it has not been clarified yet, so I won’t go into the cause any further.
My question is now whether it is “allowed” to simply paint over these lines above the baseboard. This would mean applying paint “wet on dry.” According to the manufacturer’s technical specifications, the application should be done “wet on wet.”
Is there a standard that requires “wet on wet” application or adherence to the manufacturer’s instructions?

Stefan00123 Aug 2022 12:42So you want to know if there is any standard that requires you to apply any material onto another material exclusively "wet on wet"?
Maybe I’m missing something, but you should specify what exactly you intend to do.

Please excuse me, I just realized which information was missing.
As part of a defect repair, the line is simply going to be painted over by a painting company. I doubt whether this method of execution or defect repair is correct, as I am quite sure that a visible transition will remain.
From my point of view, the entire surface up to the next building component should be painted. I have found this statement in several articles online; however, I am missing a standard or technical guideline that confirms this.

Unfortunately, I can’t help you professionally, just three points:
1. Even if you paint the entire wall, you haven’t worked “wet on wet.” The application was still done on a dry surface. You would need to adjust your argument accordingly.
2. From my experience with painters, they are surprisingly skilled at making defects invisible, especially if the first coat hasn’t been dry for long.
3. I fear that the acceptable range for color deviations/overlaps in a standard or recognized technical rule (a.a.R.d.T.) allows much more than what you would consider acceptable (if such regulations even exist).
