Texture material for covering a repaired portion of a textured surface

1. A texturing system for applying a desired texture pattern on a patched portion of a surface having a surface coating portion with a pre-existing texture pattern, where the patched portion of the surface does not have the pre-existing texture pattern, comprising:

texture material comprising a carrier, a binder, a filler, a pH adjusting material, and at least one appearance change material;

a dispensing system comprising a container assembly and a propellant material; and

a selecting system defining an outlet opening; wherein

the propellant material and the texture material are arranged within the container assembly such that the propellant material pressurizes the texture material;

placing the dispensing system in an open configuration allows texture material to flow out of the container assembly through the outlet opening and onto the patched portion of the surface;

the selecting system is configured such that a structure of the texture material on the patched portion of the surface corresponds to the desired texture pattern;

when the texture material is within the container assembly, the texture material defines a moist pH level, with the moist pH level being at least partly defined by the pH adjusting material;

after the texture material solidifies on the patched portion of the surface, the texture material defines a dry pH level; and

the appearance change material changes appearance when the texture material changes from the moist pH level to the dry pH level.

2. A texturing system as recited in claim 1 , in which texture material comprises first and second appearance change materials, where the first and second appearance change materials change appearance when the pH of the texture material changes from the moist pH level to the dry pH level.

3. A texturing system as recited in claim 1 , in which the texture material further comprises an aggregate material.

4. A texturing system as recited in claim 1 , in which changes in appearance of the appearance change material result in change in at least one appearance characteristic of the texture material selected from the group of appearance characteristics consisting of sheen and color.

5. A texturing system as recited in claim 1 , in which changes in appearance of the appearance change material result in change in at least one appearance characteristic that is visible to an unaided eye.

6. A texturing system as recited in claim 1 , in which changes in appearance of the appearance change material result in change in at least one appearance characteristic of the texture material that is different from a similar appearance characteristic of the pre-existing texture pattern.

7. A texturing system as recited in claim 1 , in which the appearance change material is at least one material selected from the group of materials consisting of Methyl violet, Thymol blue, Methyl orange, Bromocresol green, Methyl red, Litmus, Bromothymol blue, Thymol blue, Phenolphthalein, Thymolphthalein, and Alizarin yellow.

8. A texturing system as recited in claim 2 , in which the first and second appearance change material are two materials selected from the group of materials consisting of Methyl violet, Thymol blue, Methyl orange, Bromocresol green, Methyl red, Litmus, Bromothymol blue, Thymol blue, Phenolphthalein, Thymolphthalein, and Alizarin yellow.

9. A texturing system as recited in claim 1 , in which the pH adjusting material is alkaline.

10. A texturing system as recited in claim 1 , in which the pH adjusting material is acidic.

11. A texturing system as recited in claim 1 , in which the pH adjusting material increases the moist pH level.

12. A texturing system as recited in claim 1 , in which the pH adjusting material decreases the moist pH level.

13. A method of applying a desired texture pattern on a patched portion of a surface having a surface coating portion with a pre-existing texture pattern, where the patched portion of the surface does not have the pre-existing texture pattern, comprising the steps of:

providing texture material comprising a carrier, a binder, a filler, and at least one appearance change material;

providing a container assembly;

arranging the texture material within the container assembly;

arranging a propellant material within the container assembly;

arranging a pH adjusting material within the container assembly such that the pH adjusting material at least partly defines a moist pH level of the texture material;

arranging a selecting system to define an outlet opening;

placing the container assembly in an open configuration to allow the propellant material to force the texture material out of the container assembly through the outlet opening and onto the patched portion of the surface, where the selecting system is configured such a structure of the texture material on the patched portion of the surface corresponds to the desired texture pattern;

allowing the texture material on the patched portion of the surface to dry, where the dry texture material defines a dry pH level, where the appearance change material changes appearance when the texture material changes from the moist pH level to the dry pH level.

14. A texture material comprising:

a carrier,

a binder,

a filler, and

an appearance change material, where the appearance change material is a combination of at least two materials selected from the group of materials consisting of Methyl violet, Thymol blue, Methyl orange, Bromocresol green, Methyl red, Litmus, Bromothymol blue, Thymol blue, Phenolphthalein, Thymolphthalein, and Alizarin yellow; wherein

the texture material changes from a wet form to a solidified form when exposed to air;

a pH of the texture material as the texture material changes from the wet form to the solidified form; and

an appearance of the at least two materials forming the appearance change material changes as the pH of the texture material changes.

15. A texture material as recited in claim 14 , further comprising a pH adjusting material, where the pH adjusting material at least partly defines a pH of the texture material.

16. A texture material as recited in claim 14 , further comprising an aggregate material.

17. A texture material as recited in claim 14 , in which changes in appearance of the appearance change material result in change in at least one appearance characteristic of the texture material selected from the group of appearance characteristics consisting of sheen and color.

18. A texture material as recited in claim 14 , in which changes in appearance of the appearance change material result in change in at least one appearance characteristic that is visible to an unaided eye.

19. A texture material as recited in claim 14 , in which changes in appearance of the appearance change material result in change in at least one appearance characteristic of the texture material that is different from a similar appearance characteristic of a pre-existing texture pattern.
