  • Draw down paint sample card and methods
    Patent number: 9242389
    Abstract: Draw down paint sample cards, methods of making draw down paint sample cards from fresh paint using draw down paint sample cards, and systems including draw down paint sample cards and draw down bars sized for use with the draw down paint sample cards. The draw down paint sample cards may include a first side perforated line adjacent to a first side edge, a second side perforated line adjacent to a second side edge, a bottom perforated line adjacent to a bottom edge, and optionally a top perforated line adjacent to a top edge. After application of a fresh paint sample to the draw down card using a draw down bar, the perforated lines allow one or more of the unpainted edges of the draw down paint sample card to be removed to create a final paint sample card with paint extending to one or more of the edges.
