The Boysen App is an indispensable tool for DIY enthusiasts and professional painters alike. Now on it’s 25th update since its launch in 2015 this comprehensive app simplifies the entire painting process, from initial color selection to final coat application.
For those new to DIY painting, the Boysen App acts as a trusted guide, answering common questions about paint colors, product selection for various surfaces (wood, metal, concrete, drywall), and the appropriate product systems to use, from surface preparation to top coat. It’s like having an expert at your fingertips.
Professional painters will also find the app invaluable. It serves as a handy reminder for crucial details, such as the correct Portland Cement to Boysen Plexibond ratio, colorant-to-paint ratios, and recoating intervals. Even seasoned pros appreciate a reliable resource to ensure accurate and efficient work.
The Boysen App offers a range of features designed to streamline the painting process:
- Color Collection: Explore approximately 4,000 paint colors available at Boysen Mix and Match Stations. While digital swatches are a helpful reference, it’s always recommended to view physical swatches at the stations for accurate color representation.
- Products: Browse an alphabetical list of Boysen products, providing detailed information on each. This is particularly useful for understanding the products recommended by architects, contractors, or interior designers.
- Choose Your Paint: Find recommended paint systems tailored to specific substrates (concrete, wood, metal, drywall) and locations (interior, exterior, roofs, floors).
- Paint Calculator: Estimate the precise amount of paint (in liters) needed for your project, considering factors like substrate type and chosen Boysen product, minimizing waste and ensuring you have enough paint.
- Mix Your Colors: Experiment with custom color mixing by visualizing different combinations of Boysen Latex Colors (colorant) and Boysen Permacoat Latex Paint. This tool takes the guesswork out of creating unique shades.
- Specs Writer Guide: Quickly find Boysen products categorized by specifications, a particularly helpful feature for professionals seeking specific product types.
- Search: Instantly access information on products and colors by simply typing the name into the search bar.
- Color Capture: Our Juan To Build favorite is this feature. It allows you to capture color inspiration from your surroundings. Snap a photo or upload an image of a wall or any object, and the app will suggest the closest matching Boysen colors.
- Visualizer: Visualize your chosen colors in your own space. Take a photo of the room and digitally “paint” a selected area with up to three Boysen colors, allowing you to preview the final result before you start painting.
