Overview, Terminology, and Definitions OF THE INVENTION

The present invention may be readily adapted to a variety of prepaints and methods, apparatuses, and systems for producing an aqueous paint. With embodiments of the present invention, Oil Paintings an aqueous paint having any end-use application characteristic may be consistently produced on demand from a plurality of prepaints at the point of sale and/or use within minutes of an operator's selection using a common automated computer controlled paint production apparatus for example.

The invention is particularly useful in the consistent on demand production of latex paint having any end-use application characteristic at the factory, point of sale, and/or point of use. However, hand-painted oil painting it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the invention is not limited to the production of latex paint. Rather, any description relating to latex paint is for the exemplary purposes of this disclosure, and those of ordinary skill in the art will also understand that the invention may also produce a wide variety of paints with similar results, such as architectural coatings, industrial coatings, graphic arts coating, elastomeric coatings, non-cementitious, aggregate finish coatings, and the like.

Moreover, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the invention is not limited to the specific aqueous paints, paint production methods, aqueous prepaints, apparatuses, systems, and other components disclosed herein, as virtually any aqueous paints, paint production methods, aqueous prepaints, apparatuses, systems, and other components consistent with the intended operation and use of a method, Oil Paintings apparatus and/or system of the invention for producing an aqueous paint from a plurality of prepaints may be utilized.

Accordingly, for example, although particular aqueous paints, paint production methods, and other components are disclosed, such paints, methods, and other components may comprise any shape, s and/or the like consistent with the intended operation and use of a method, apparatus, and/or system of the invention for producing an aqueous paint from a plurality of prepaints. It will also be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the invention is not limited to use of any specific paints, and other components selected are consistent with the intended operation and use of a method, apparatus, and/or system of the invention for producing an aqueous paint from a plurality of prepaints. Furthermore, ranges and examples given herein are for particular working formulations and one of ordinary skill in the art would understand that other formulations and the like are possible using other amounts of components.
