We collect unwanted paint from a variety of sources, including municipal governments, paint manufacturers, commercial painting contractors, and paint retailers. We may receive products that are mistinted, mislabeled, over-ordered leftovers, discontinued, etc. Every item that we receive is taken through a strict sorting process by color, type, etc and combined into batches. Each and every batch is then tested for the key quality characteristics of paint. We then, through a proprietary process, rebalance and recolor the product, bringing it up to the highest standard of quality and consistency.
