The BlendMate bm1001 Rounded Corner Color Transition Blending Tool

by The BlendMate

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The BlendMate makes painting color transitions on rounded interior wall corners easy. Bullnose or rounded interior corners provide an elegant, soft look to a home. But, if you want two adjoining walls to be two different colors, you have a problem. Where--and how do you change colors when the walls have no end? Until now you had to choose a place to make the color change and attempt to make a straight line. To an inexperienced painter this line is time consuming and very difficult to achieve. When using masking tape on a textured wall, the paint often bleeds under the tape and leaves a jagged edge. Even if one has mastered straight lines, you still end up with a harsh color change on a corner that is supposed to have a soft elegant look. The BlendMate has solved this problem perfectly. This amazing tool not only allows you to paint transitions with ease--it blends the two colors together, completely removing the transition, creating one seamless and beautiful flow of color from room to room. Using the BlendMate could not be easier. The syringe-style paint chambers take the mess out of working with paint. Simply draw the paint directly from the paint can and paint your corner. The drive screw at the back of the tool ensures that equal portions of paint are delivered to the rollers. Color changes of similar colors often vanish into the shadows. The BlendMate works well with all color changes and even works when blending from low-sheen to high-sheen paints.

We just bought a new house that has bullnose corners throughout. We wanted to paint our dining room but didn't want the straight line after taping and where do you tape?? I asked around at painting/hardware stores and no one carried any kind of device to paint on bullnose walls so I got on Youtube and found a demo video of the Blendmate....it had our interest and thought it was worth a try since we had no other options. We LOVED the results! I can see how it might look funny if your two wall colors are very different, but we were painting an olive green color to blend next to a taupe wall and it looks incredible! I highly recommend this product. You will want to practice first on something to get the hang of it. Also, we washed out the rollers real good and can reuse them again.
