Ernestine Shargool: Totally agree with translation, though I wish there were a different word for 'cazzuolate'!

4 hrs

-> Thanks E. Yes, "cazzuolate" is not my favourite word either, but in this case (subtitles, conversational), it should work.

AdamiAkaPataflo: perfetto, visto il tono sportivone del testo. anche "badilate" e "secchiate", per quanto mi riguarda... swosh di baci // ma ci mancherebbe, pulciosguinzola, è solo un parente di famiglia :-)))

spatolare sopra

letteralmente: colore in quantità buttato sopra con la cazzuola

ma direi "grandi quantità di colore spatolato sopra" per brevità

o anche "gettato sopra a cazzuolate" se il tono del testo lo permette

Il colore a grandi quantità si stende con la spatola, non con la cazzuola che si usa per i materiali da costruzione (cemento, calce, stucco, ecc.) per questo dico "spatolare" o "a spatolate"
