2. Color.

The repair of painted office furniture requires coloring, varnishing and polishing. According to the original color matching of the furniture, it is necessary to distinguish the paint color, mixed color, second color and third color, and make the corresponding color matching according to the judgment to achieve the effect of repainting without leaving any marks.

2. Differences in office furniture paint colors:

A mixed color is a balanced blend of three colors that complement each other and are saturated. This type of color is easiest to mix and apply in one go, but it's important to emphasize certain aspects. For example, when applying a green tint, green is the primary color. A double-layered color refers to a color where the base and top colors have distinct visual differences, such as a yellow-red base with black streaks on the top. Alternatively, a green or brown tint may be present. In these cases, a base color is applied. After balancing the colors, a gloss coat is applied, followed by the top color and a gloss finish. A triple-layered color refers to a base color of any color, a middle layer with streaks or spots, and a top color of a pure, clear hue with a subtle counter-color. This type of paint requires precise application to avoid misapplying the color layer, streaks, spots, or patterns. A gloss coat is then applied. Finally, depending on the furniture's top color, a gloss coat is applied using a color coat diluted with paint flakes to highlight the top color. Finally, a gloss coat is applied.
