CertaPro Painters of Pasadena has proven once again that they are more than just painting contractors. The painting company is always looking for new ways to help homeowners beautify their most prized possession. Quick to offer tips, ideas and other helpful hints, they’ve most recently uncovered Sherwin Williams Color Visualizer which allows crafty homeowners to actually see what their home looks like once it’s been painted.
Need to see it to believe it? Sherwin Williams color visualizer allows homeowners to upload their own photo and paint it virtually with more than 1500 Sherwin Williams colors. Here, you can color the walls, tint the trim and coat the ceiling. And it’s free! Here’s how to actually see what CertaPro of Pasadena painting contractors can do.
Take a picture of your room. If you can, avoid using camera phones. Make sure the room is clean and free of clutter and simplify it by removing obstructing objects. Once you’ve taken the photo of the whole room, submit it to your computer. It must be no bigger than 5 megabytes and a jpeg file. Click upload, OK, then name it. Choose interior or exterior for correct color palette, then read the terms and conditions.
Now you’re ready to be your own virtual painting contractor. Adjust the photo to be sure it fits the screen. To zoom in or out, use the zoom slider below the photo and the hand tool to pan across the image. To fit the photo to the size of the window click “fit,” or you can blow it up to 100% for actual size. Select the type of surface—start with the larger surface first, and keep surfaces separate. You’ll create a “mask” to choose the surfaces you want to paint by tracing around edges of the room. Choose a description for your surface from dropdown or custom. Save the surfaces so you can mix and match, or edit future surfaces. Click “paint now” to paint the room choosing from the palette. Login or register to save your work, painted versions, favorite colors and to print or email.
The Sherwin Williams Color Visualizer is just another way to let CertaPro of Pasadena painting contractors know exactly what you want. This savvy tool is free and easy to use. Access it from CertaPro’s corporate website under the “find your colors tab.” Next, click your way to your dream home.
