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 pH change material;

a dispensing system comprising a container assembly, an outlet opening and a propellant material; 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 dispensing 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 initially applied to the patched portion of the surface, the texture material defines a moist pH level, with the moist pH level being at least partly defined by the pH adjusting material such that the pH change material defines a first appearance;

after the texture material solidifies on the patched portion of the surface, the texture material defines a dry pH level such that the pH change material defines a second appearance, where the second appearance is perceptively different from the first appearance.

2. A texturing system as recited in claim 1 , in which the texture material comprises first and second pH change materials, where at least one of the first and second pH change materials defines the first appearance when the pH of the texture material is at the moist pH level and at least one of the first and second pH change materials defines the second appearance when the pH of the texture material is at 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 the pH change material result in changes of at least one appearance characteristic 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 the pH 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 pH 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 pH 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 pH 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 pH 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;

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 such that 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 at least one pH change material changes appearance when the texture material changes from the moist pH level to the dry pH level.

14. A texture material for substantially matching a pre-existing texture pattern, the texture material comprising:

a carrier,

a binder,

a filler, and

a pH change material, where the pH change material is a 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; wherein

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

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

an appearance of at least one appearance characteristic of the at least one material forming the pH change material changes as the pH of the texture material changes; and

an appearance characteristic of the texture material associated with the at least one material forming the pH change material in at least one of the wet form and the solidified form differs from a similar appearance characteristic of the pre-existing texture pattern.

15. A texture material as recited in claim 14 , in which the appearance characteristic of the texture material associated with the at least one material forming the pH change material in both the wet form and the solidified form differs from a similar appearance characteristic of the pre-existing texture pattern.

16. A texture material as recited in claim 14 , in which the pH 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.

17. 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.

18. A texture material as recited in claim 16 , in which changes in appearance of at least one of the at least two pH change materials 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.

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