Spot repairs alone may result in an inferior finish; full repainting of the area is recommended for the best aesthetic result.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paint \u0026 Paper Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49280219119786,"sku":"zrn1789768274040","price":42.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/9518\/1738\/files\/paint-paper-library-architects-gloss---750ml---tinted-colour_1.jpg?v=1789768299","url":"https:\/\/palmshadewear.shop\/products\/paint-paper-library-architects-gloss-750ml-tinted-colour","provider":"My Store 2","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
