Specifications A and B are two different ways to present the specifications of a paint or coating.  Some manufacturers use method "A"; some use method "B", but the product is the same.  "B" would suggest that you get more Resin in its formulation than in "A", but you do NOT.  "B" would suggest that you get more White Titanium Dioxide than in "A", but you do NOT.  Method "A" gives you the most accurate percentage of each part in relation to the whole.  Therefore, you should be sure that the Total Pigment is less than 100%, and the total Vehicle is less than 100%; and that the total of both Pigment and Vehicle is no more than 100%.  So when comparing paint specifications, be sure each specification you compare is presented in the same method.
