There are a number of different methods available for when you need to paint, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. One method in particular shines through as one of the most efficient: the Point ‘n Paint painting system. Using an ergonomically-designed painting pad which is shaped in such a way that it can paint corners and edges as easily as it does open walls, the Point ‘n Paint system will provide you with an easy-to-use tool that will meet all of your painting needs. Best of all, using the Point ‘n Paint system can actually save you both time and money on your next painting project.
Painting a room can be a time consuming and expensive task; painting a house amplifies the complexity and cost of the task several times. The claim that the Point ‘n Paint can actually reduce both the time needed and the cost of painting might seem to be a big one, but there are several ways that the system can help you to save time and money when painting. Here are just a few of the ways that the system can help you cut your costs and increase the speed with which you finish painting so that you can get back to doing the things that you want to do.
Less Paint Waste
Painting can be a messy process, and paint generally is not cheap. When using rollers and brushes, a significant amount of paint generally has to be thrown away either because it has dried out in the try, gotten spilled onto drop cloths, or was simply left over in a brush or roller when it was cleaned up. The Point ‘n Paint system reduces a significant amount of this waste by letting you use only a small amount of paint at a time in order to get all of your painting done. The refill tray is designed in such a way that it helps the paint in it to stay in a liquid form longer, letting you pour any unused paint back into the can when you are finished for the day. Not only that, but the tray is also designed to make it harder to tip over to greatly reduce the chance of spilling paint onto the floor.
Fewer Accessories Needed
If you are painting with traditional painting supplies then you likely have a roller with its tray to let you paint the larger portions of the room as well as one or more brushes for corners and edges. The brushes will need a separate paint container or a can that they can be dipped in, and painter’s tape will be required in order to let you paint around outlets, windows, and other objects in the wall without getting paint all over them. Not only do all of these components cost money, but the time that it takes to switch from one to another can really add up. The Point ‘n Paint is essentially an all-in-one system, with the painting pads it uses being designed so that you can do perfect edging and corners even without the use of painter’s tape. The same pads are also able to paint the larger portions of walls with ease.
Faster Refilling
Refilling a roller or brush only takes a few moments, but those few moments generally require several steps in order to be successful and avoid drips or runs. The roller has to be rolled through the paint in order to get an even coating and then must be rolled on the shallow part of the tray to get rid of excess paint. Brushes need to be dipped and then brushed against the edge of the paint can in order to remove as much of the extra paint in the bristles as possible. The Point ‘n Paint on the other hand simply needs to be rolled over the wheel in the middle of its painting tray; this fills the pad with paint and lets you get right to painting with no additional steps.
Ease of Application
When using a roller, the same area often has to be gone over several times in order to get an even coat. Brushes are even worse, since you have to contend with brush strokes that can be all but impossible to get rid of at times. The Point ‘n Paint lets you apply paint in an even coat on the first try, the pad smoothing it out even as it is applied. You will spend a significantly smaller amount of time painting, often finishing up a room that would otherwise take a day in around an hour or so. Any convenience that can be taken advantage of while painting should absolutely be utilized; painting can be an extremely messy and difficult process. The Point n Paint painting system can help.
