repaints

Applies fresh coat

Repaints is the plural of repaint—instances of painting something again, typically to refresh appearance or change color: The car's had several repaints over the years.

In collecting, a repaint is a toy or model figure whose original paint has been altered, sometimes diminishing value, sometimes creating custom designs.

The verb form means paints again: She repaints the trim every few years.
