Italian term or phrase: prevede
Once again the same term, in a slightly different context but I'm quite stuck, I've thought about the following: establishes, involves, foresees, sees, envisions, etc, but I'm unable to find the proper one, some help would really be appreciated.

Many thanks!

Explanation:
The paints mentioned in the previous points .... are used for finishing and can be combined
Any attempt to actually word for word translate prevedere here leads to pretty unnatural English. Not even "involve" works very well here.

This more formal option may be suitable in case of a finishing process, which "provides for" specific steps to be followed.

requires


Explanation:
requires or implies
According to your description, -prevede- means -comporta- voce del verbo comportare.
Both suggestions can be used, and I think they match the meaning you are looking for.
I hope it helps you in your translation, emanuela
