Abstract: An article including a layer of dry paint, a layer of an activatable adhesive adjacent to the layer of dry paint, a protective layer adhering to the layer of dry paint on the side thereof opposite the layer of adhesive, and a protective film attached to the layer of adhesive on the side thereof opposite the layer of dry paint. The adhesive forces between the protective layer and the layer of dry paint are controlled and maintained between the adhesive forces between the protective film and the layer of adhesive before activation thereof, and the adhesive forces between the layer of paint and a final support, via the layer of adhesive after activation thereof. In some embodiments, the article is used for repairing painted surfaces in various industries.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for preparing a sheet item that is intended to be attached to a permanent carrier. The method includes the following steps: —applying at least one layer (201, 202, 203), of material to be painted, onto a temporary carrier (10), the temporary carrier being selected so that, after drying, the temporary carrier (10) is separated by peeling from the layer of material to be painted or the first layer of material to be painted; before the layer of material to be painted or the last layer of material to be painted has completely dried, —applying, directly onto the free surface of the same, a non-adhesive fibrous material backing layer (30) under mechanical conditions suitable for creating partial interpenetration of the fibers of the material of the backing layer (30) and the undried material (203) to be painted; and after drying, —permanently anchoring the layer(s), of material to be painted, onto said backing layer (30).

Abstract: A process for manufacturing an article notably enabling a decorative film to be fixed to a final support is described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sheet article (1) intended for the application of decorative layers to walls (50) to be decorated, characterised in that it comprises: a substrate (40) formed by an activatable adhesive film; and a layer (20) of material to be painted, disposed on a first face of the substrate (40), said adhesive being temporarily inactive and the second face of the substrate (40) being free.
