Paint a House!




That's right, you can paint a whole entire house with the JAVA applet at the Flexbon paint website. This is NOT a kid's website. It was made for adults who are thinking of painting their house and aren't sure what color combinations they want so this applet lets you try out all kinds of colors on different house types. Even though this website was made for adults, it's still FUN FOR KIDS, TOO!

Younger kids will definitely need older kid or adult help in figuring out how to use the controls on the applet.

The JAVA applet appears in its own pop-up window at the same time that the main window opens. It is not a pop-up ad. It's where you have the fun.

FROM THE WEBSITE:

Welcome to SpectraFlex - Flex Bon's Java™ enabled "point and shoot" paint applet, featuring the Flex Bon Color Source Selection of colors!

In order to paint with our applet you will need to temporarily disable any pop-up window blockers. You will also need to have a Java enabled web browser.

To paint a house, first select a color from the palette. You can scroll through the colors with the navigational buttons to the right. If you know the color number and want to find it, press the "Find color #" button and enter the number (not case sensitive).

Next, move your mouse to the area of the house you want to paint, then click. It's that easy! At any time you can press the "View selections" button to see which colors you have selected for each area of the house you've painted.

While in the "View selections" area, you can press the "Color palette" button to return to the palette screen. To select another house to paint, press the "Pick new image" button. To clear the colors you selected and start over, press "Clear list". Have fun!

Please Note: These computer video simulations only approximate the dry paint color. The actual color will vary depending on the vehicle, gloss level, application technique, film thickness variances, substrate and light source. For critical color matches, a sample of paint should be applied, allowed to dry and checked before proceeding with the entire job.

The optimal color palette setting for your video display is 24 bit (16M colors) or higher.

P.S. Yep, I "painted" those houses you see up there.
