Hiding power
Property of paint / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The hiding power is an ability of a paint to hide the surface that the paint was applied to.[1] Numerically, it is defined as an area of surface coated by a volume of paint (spreading rate) at which the "complete hiding" of the underlying surface occurs.[2]
