Planning to paint your house? Any paint project requires you to shop and choose a variety of paints to apply to the different areas such as walls, ceiling, trims, etc. After the big job is done, how do you keep track of the paint colors and types that you used?

Some people collect paint chips and make annotations on them of the areas where they were applied. Others use a notebook to keep track of paint colors, types and areas of a project. Painters also sometimes write the project/room information directly on the paint can.

These systems may work fine, but with the new Paint Track, this chore has become much easier to deal with. During a paint project, you're usually at the top of your game, selecting, classifying and organizing all the different paints used in the project. However, months or years later, the ability to remember which color you used in what room, along with the brand and finish can be difficult. If you kept permanent records, you would have to dig through them and try to make sense of them. In addition, there is the problem of trying to find the leftover paint or purchase the same paint for a small touch-up job. If you're lucky, you still have the paint can with the original paint label intact and still legible. But usually, the can is rusty and corroded, the leftover paint unusable and the label either faded, covered with paint or otherwise illegible.

Paint Track helps resolve all these issues and provides even more tools to make your painting jobs easier (see Paint-Savers.com).
