### sch.2-sec.38 Surface coating
Surface coating (the relevant activity ) consists of using, in a year—
1t or more of surface coating materials for anodising, electroplating, enamelling or galvanising; or
more than 100t of surface coating materials for coating or painting or powder coating.
The relevant activity does not include—
coating a surface using only a paintbrush, roller or sponge; or
coating or painting for marking pavements or roads; or
coating a surface in association with carrying out an activity to which section 48 or 49 applies.
In the following table, the aggregate environmental score for the relevant activity is the score stated opposite the threshold within which the relevant activity is carried out.
