Paint Problems

Paint application seems to be one of those more difficult areas of modeling to master. It’s not an exact science, and the number of variables involved and how they affect one another, along with finish quality, can puzzle even an experienced painter. And while a lot of great tips, advice, and techniques are available, troubleshooting paint problems, sight unseen, is still pretty difficult.

To add to the troubleshooting information arsenal, we have searched our old reference books and put together a list of paint problems and their causes. This list is by no means complete, as plenty of other problems exist. We have tried to focus it to those that are more likely to be encountered by the majority of users from the experienced paint Contractor to the D.I.Y. homeowner.

It’s all in alphabetical order and broken down into four areas: Condition, Cause, Prevention, and Remedy. The numbered items in Cause and Prevention are relative to one another, for example, Cause number 1 for a given problem can be avoided by Prevention number 1 for that same problem.

I hope you find it useful. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail us

Finding Great Colour Combinations

If you’re timid about splashing colour into your rooms, look for help from a special fabric, favourite artwork or collectable, an area rug or an antique quilt. These items work as your “decorator”, showing you foolproof colour combinations you already love. Remember, colours elicit emotions and can be used to set the mood for an entire room.

Warm Colours

Colours such as red, yellow and orange give sensations of warmth. They are associated with the colours of the sun and fire and tend to draw attention.

Cool Colours

Colours such as green and blue give a sensation of coolness associated with cool water, blue skies and a dense green forest. These colours tend to recede from the viewer and are often used as pastels.

Neutral Colour Scheme

Whites, blacks, greys, beige and graded browns create neutral tones. This scheme is made interesting, chic or formal by introducing a variety of textures, such as rugs, deep pile carpet, stucco and surface finishes like wood grain and granite. This option creates and excellent backdrop for bright colourful paintings, decorative art and floral arrangements.

MatchRite Colour Matching System

Due to the ever-changing needs to step out of the ordinary, Kaleidoscope Paints has taken painting one step further by investing in the MatchRite Colour Matching System and the “Interactive Kaleidoscope Colour-Visualiser.”

The MatchRite computerized system develops specific formulas, making it easier to enhance your property by mixing your paints to match any colour YOU want.

Choosing colours or redecorating has never been easier… choose the colour you love from any fabric, book or object and let MatchRite create your colour.

Analogous Colour Scheme
Two or three colours that are near each other on the colour wheel. Used by decorators to achieve colour themes such as blue seas or green gardens.

Triadic Colour Scheme
