Brisbane Painting Technology

Has Come A Long Way

In Brisbane, painting technology has come a long way. Unlike before, the use of computers has become a part of the mixing process in formulating paint for both commercial and residential use. Aside from this, the composition of paint these days is latex, which means that curing times are much faster than before. The utilisation of latex based paint also allows for faster post-painting clean up and smells once associated with polyester and petroleum based paints are now greatly eliminated.  To find out more on the latest breakthroughs in paint technology, click on our preferred painting service.

Computerised paint scanners

For many of today’s painters, the most important innovation to date has been the use of computerised paint scanners that formulate new paints to match the often faded colour of existing paints. This has been helpful, especially in coming up with colour shades that are no longer readily available at local hardware stores. Apart from this, paint scanners can also match fabric colours, flowers, or any desired source material of your choosing.

Modern paint formulations

Modern paints today come in a variety of specialised formulations that can be made to be fade resistant, chip resistant, odour free, and even antibiotic to resist mould and fungi.  For customers that desire a smooth surface finish, paint retailers and hardware stores often carry inexpensive chemicals that will allow the paint to flow or lay flat. These additives are sometimes preferred over paint thinner, which can sometimes alter the paint’s characteristics.

Paint brushes of the future

Although a brush and roller are the tools most associated with a painter, foam brushes are now commonly used for precision work, especially in the application of straight lines. These brushes can also be used to create smooth surfaces using less paint. Another tool in use is the spray gun, which is either powered by an electric, pneumatic, or fuel based motor. This gun works by allowing paint to be pumped through a hose which is then atomised into a fine spray. With an airless spray gun at your disposal, it is quite easy to paint large surface areas in only a short period of time.
