| | touching up / making good paintwork | Explanation:
Here, in this specific context only.
Normally, it means joining new paintwork in with an existing finish; this is what is involved here, too, of course, but in this specific context, I think this EN term would be more appropriate — making relatively minor repairs to paintwork where bits have been planed off the doors and windows.
'Making good' is a more general term (usually translates 'remise en état') but could be used here too, it has a slightly more formal ring to it than 'touching up'. |
