Examples by Level

يَجِبُ أَنْ نُزِيلَ الطِّلاءَ الْقَدِيمَ قَبْلَ وَضْعِ الطِّلاءِ الْجَدِيدِ لِضَمَانِ الِالْتِصَاقِ الْجَيِّدِ.

We must remove the old paint before applying the new paint to ensure good adhesion.

الطِّلاءُ الزَّيْتِيُّ يَتَمَيَّزُ بِمُقَاوَمَتِهِ لِلْمَاءِ وَيُعْطِي لَمَعَانًا جَمِيلًا لِلْأَبْوَابِ الْخَشَبِيَّةِ.

Oil paint is characterized by its water resistance and gives a beautiful shine to wooden doors.

اخْتَرْنَا طِلاءً مَاتِيًّا لِغُرْفَةِ الْمَعِيشَةِ لِأَنَّهُ يُضْفِي جَوًّا هَادِئًا وَلَا يَعْكِسُ الضَّوْءَ بِقُوَّةٍ.

We chose a matte paint for the living room because it creates a calm atmosphere and doesn't strongly reflect light.

يُفَضَّلُ اسْتِخْدَامُ طِلاءٍ خَاصٍّ مُقَاوِمٍ لِلصَّدَأِ لِحِمَايَةِ الْهَيَاكِلِ الْمَعْدَنِيَّةِ فِي الْأَمَاكِنِ الرَّطْبَةِ.

It is preferable to use a special rust-resistant paint to protect metal structures in damp places.

تَتَطَلَّبُ عَمَلِيَّةُ طِلَاءِ الْجُدْرَانِ الْكَثِيرَ مِنَ الدِّقَّةِ وَالِانْتِبَاهِ لِتَفَادِي التَّشْوِيهِ.

The process of painting walls requires a lot of precision and attention to avoid distortion.

أَضَافَ الطِّلاءُ الْأَزْرَقُ الزَّاهِيُّ لَمْسَةً حَيَوِيَّةً لِلْغُرْفَةِ وَجَعَلَهَا تَبْدُو أَكْثَرَ اتِّسَاعًا.

The bright blue paint added a vibrant touch to the room and made it appear more spacious.

يَنْبَغِي أَنْ نُجَرِّبَ الطِّلاءَ عَلَى مِسَاحَةٍ صَغِيرَةٍ أَوَّلًا لِلتَّأَكُّدِ مِنْ مُطَابَقَةِ اللَّوْنِ الْمَطْلُوبِ.

We should test the paint on a small area first to ensure it matches the desired color.

تَسْتَخْدِمُ هَذِهِ الشَّرِكَةُ طِلاءً صَدِيقًا لِلْبِيئَةِ لِتَقْلِيلِ الْآثَارِ السَّلْبِيَّةِ عَلَى الْكَوْكَبِ.

This company uses environmentally friendly paint to reduce negative impacts on the planet.
