striping
Con seguridad hay una falta de ortografía y lo que en realidad debería decir es "rayado", que se traduce como striping

Comment: "Thanks, I think I agree with 'striping' in this context - there is no reference in the text to scratching off layers of paint, so I think it's a layering technique of some kind."

: It sounds like a description of "sgraffito" technique or similar, where you "scratch" the top layer of paint to reveal the one below with whatever (end of brush, fingernail, etc). But as Adolfo has said, it really should be "rayado".
