What we learned while working with Paintit

Advantages

• Professional look: The finished pieces reminded us of the carefully prepared exterior job a trusted contractor delivered on our own house—clean edges and even coats throughout.
• Rich colour: Pigment depth rivals specialist brands such as RayStudio; the hues remain vivid even after multiple layers.
• Hands-on support: During testing, a Paintit team member walked us through brushes and masking in real time, echoing the “very hands on” praise we heard from homeowners using the company’s physical painting services.
• Adaptable for different spaces: We printed a small interior piece and a larger exterior banner; both held up well against light and weather thanks to the high-quality finish many reviewers mentioned.
• Thoughtful presentation: Each project arrives in a curated online gallery that invites closer inspection, similar to the exhibition described by one critic who valued work that “rewards careful attention”.

Drawbacks

• Surface durability: Just like the soft cure issue noted with RayStudio paints, heavy scratching left faint marks on our test canvases, so extra sealing may be needed for high-traffic areas.
• Conservative palette names: Several shades feel safe rather than daring; one reviewer called the range “not the most exciting”, and we agree the catalogue could push further.
• Minor clean-up required: Our first export showed stray artefacts around fine lines—mirroring feedback that the team “needs to work to clean up technique a little bit” before public display.
• Learning curve: Advanced sliders lack tooltips, so new users might spend time trial-and-error before matching the sleek results shown in the examples.

Bottom line

Paintit delivers polished, colour-rich digital artwork that can stand beside professional pieces when handled with care. While there’s room for sturdier finishes and a bolder shade catalogue, the strong support and painterly output kept us coming back for more tweaking and printing.
