A dedicated bag of paint is placed directly into the applicator and connected to the roller/brush via a hose. The paint bag is squeezed by a bellows, which is pressurised using an integrated battery-powered pump. The system ensures that paint continuously flows onto the brush or roller and is controlled by a trigger on the handset. The Paintmate can be handled or carried as a hands free ‘backpack’.     about Creactive product design transport design engineering manufacturing
