Mistint
2025
With the spectrophotometer connected and calibrated, colour matching takes just seconds. Provided the customer hasn’t given us crumbs, the system scans the sample, compares it to the shade library, and generates the best possible formula. In the paint shop, we can colour match (almost) anything.

But if the machine isn’t working, the paint team gets an ear full and customers are sent to the colour wall to fend for themselves. That task can be tricky, especially for your local colourblind tradie, or the brother who thinks all whites are the same.

Mistints refer to paints that have been tinted incorrectly, usually after a customers’ failed eye match. These products are sold at a reduced price, and can sit on the shelf until the local mistint man scoops them up. To cover the original formula label, we apply a generic mistint sticker. I’ve stared at that sticker for 8 years, it was time for me to zhuzh it up.
