spray drops or other unevennesses occur-ing as little as possible.

Test Procedure

Draw the paint to be tested over a plane substrate (test chart), producing 5 pairs of streaks of various film thicknesses

Hold the test panel in a horizontal position, and observe which of the pairs of streaks converge

Generally, the gap depth of that pair of streaks is indicated where the intervals between the streaks are slightly visible
