    1. Tolerances: Non-conformity must be assessed according to the particular characteristics and tolerances of our products.
      1. For our paints, they adhere perfectly to most of common or prepared substrates and our tints are always as close as possible to a sample or a reference.

In addition, the texture of the paint, the color and state of the support, and the number of layers has an influence on the color rendering. Finally, some substrates may present compatibility problems with certain paints. Therefore, on a doubtful support or to evaluate a shade, it is essential to carry out a preliminary test using a sample of minimum size A4.
      3. In case of different batches, we recommend mixing the pots or painting a well-defined surface per batch. A touch-up should always be carried out on a well-defined surface.
      4. A Δ E of less than three on the same substrate with the same method of application is within our manufacturing tolerances.
  3. LIABILITY: We limit our liability to the refund and indemnities provided for in the detailed general conditions.
