Dear all, "chapiscado" in Brazil means the application of cement mass through a strainer onto the wall. This type of wall doesn't need painting at all. It's a cheap way to finish a wall and very used throughout Brazil
Sormane Gomes May 31, 2005:
Sorry...I meant to say...HAS old paint...stuccoed wall with old paint, IMO.
Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) May 31, 2005:
In this case, chapiscado means splotches of paint ie in description terms in English: wall : paint peeling off
Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) May 31, 2005:
well I am not sure at all: muro chapiscado is a stucco wall..like they do in Brazil and all over LA..but here I think it means the paint is peeling off the walls..which matches your other question about leaking faucets..that seems to be the ballgame
Sormane Gomes May 31, 2005:
I agree...I think 'chapiscado' modifies wall and that the wall is WITH old paint. That's the way I read it.
Non-ProZ.com May 31, 2005:
Hi Jane... it's part of a technical opinion on a building... a description of the wall... I think airmailrpl is right that it's stuccoed..., with old paint, because the building is in need of a paint job throughout
Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) May 31, 2005:
Marian..is that a list? A requirement? Something they have to clean up? Get rid of? Chapisco is stucco but here it does mean : splotches of old paint

Jane
\"plywood is only 3cm\"
that is over an inch thick which is very robust plywood.

\"naval in English has the meaning of re-inforced\"
No - \'Naval\' or \'Marine\' in English means that the plywood is treated to be water resistant
Peer comment(s):
neutral Jane Lamb-Ruiz (X) : yes..except maybe here splotches//...I know naval in English has the meaning of re-inforced etc. but the Portuguese explanation said it was not re-inforced. the plywood is only 3cm etc. so I didn't understand your reaction..

fico feliz com seu desagree
disagree Sormane Gomes : "chapiscado" modifies wall; not the way it was painted.

wrong, it's just the way it is painted
neutral airmailrpl : very hard to 'chapiscar' a wall with old paint - old paint wouldn't splash because it would be dry

wall: old paint peeling off or old paint spotches

If this is the current condition of the wall, it means: it has splotches of old paint on it....the paint is crumbling off ....I am sure that if that is meaning...ie current condition and needs fixing, this is the meaning

roughcast

it means the wall has received a “chapisco” finish, which basically means applying, by sloshing on with a trowel, a sand and cement rough finish. I am not sure how you would best put this in English, but a proz glossary has it as “roughcast”.
