Someone said, But it doesn't hide the scars. I replied painting the wall doesn't hide the cracks, but makes you feel better. If they wanted to hide scars, I think they'd be talking to a plastic surgeon, not a tattoo artist.
No, I think they aren't looking to hide they had trouble, but trying to make things sorta complete. So when the walk past the mirror it looks all there, even though it's different.
Same reason we rattle can paint, the rust spots on an old heap.
