- (16) of this title and paragraphs (1) - (4) and (6) - (8) of this
subsection.
(S) Multi-colored coating--A coating that exhibits
more than one color when applied, is packaged in a single container,
and applied in a single coat.
(T) Off-site job shop--A non-manufacturer of metal
or plastic parts and products that applies coatings to such products
at a site under contract with one or more parties that operate under
separate ownership and control.
(U) Optical coating--A coating applied to an optical
lens.
(V) Pail (metal)--Any cylindrical metal shipping container
with a capacity equal to or greater than 1 gallon but less than 12
gallons and constructed of 29 gauge or heavier material.
(W) Pan-backing coating--A coating applied to the surface
of pots, pans, or other cooking implements that are exposed directly
to a flame or other heating elements.
(X) Prefabricated architectural component coating--A
coating applied to metal parts and products that are to be used as
an architectural structure.
(Y) Pretreatment coating--A coating that contains no
more than 12% solids by weight and at least 0.50% acid by weight;
is used to provide surface etching; and is applied directly to metal
surfaces to provide corrosion resistance, adhesion, and ease of stripping.
(Z) Repair coating--A coating used to re-coat portions
of a previously coated product that has sustained mechanical damage
to the coating following normal surface coating processes.
(AA) Safety-indicating coating--A coating that changes
physical characteristics, such as color, to indicate unsafe conditions.
(BB) Shock-free coating--A coating applied to electrical
components to protect the user from electric shock. The coating has
