Regolith is mostly powdered rock and pebbles from the parent body that
may or may not be compacted at the surface.
So why should the reflectance spectra from Lutetia's regolith be
totally dismissed? Are you dismissing Spectroscopy of asteroids
altogether?
If the "paint" derived from the parent body, then analysis of the
"paint" could possibly tell us something about the parent body itself.
Yes?
