In England Blooming is indeed the term, how ever in Scotland we are all awkward bastards and have different terms,
, blooming
is one of our terms and is used to describe the loss of sheen on high gloss paints due to freezing temperatures, this will usually only happen in if there is a sudden drop in temperature within the first hour after application, after that it doesn't become an issue, what you refer to as blooming in England we refer too as flashing, but it's a wider used term because it's also used to describe the effect of going over a almost dry edge with eggshell paints sometimes referred to as semi-gloss or satin finish or silk sheen finish depending on manufacturer and location, but basically the over lapping edges would dry to a gloss finish facilitating the need for a total redo, these day paints are made differently so it's less of a problem, back in the day if you used these eggshell paints in an unventilated area for an hour or so you could get totally wasted, but gone are the days when you actually got paid to go to your work and get stoned
Which reminds me, a few weeks ago I was sat watching star trek with a friend of mine who was partial to the occasional doobie, anyway, he asked me during the film "what would
you do if you saw a spaceman?" to which I replied "
I'de park the car man" :sour:
