Recoat

Try paint colors on a photo of your house or your room

Free for 7 daysNo accountNo adsEnglish + EspañolYour photos stay on your phone

Take or choose a photo, tap a wall and try colors on it. Add trim, door and shutters, mark what should stay as it is (windows, brick, the roof), and save the picture with a color card to take to the paint store. No photo yet? Start with the sample house or the sample room in the app.

Price

Free for 7 days, then one optional payment

Recoat is free for 7 days with everything included, and no card is needed to try it. After that, one optional one-time purchase through Google Play keeps Recoat for life ($5.99 in the US; Google Play shows the price in your country). No subscription, no ads, no automatic charge. The payment is processed by Google Play, and RevenueCat processes the purchase. No account is needed.

If you don't buy it, nothing is deleted: you can always save your project images, export your color list and back up everything, for free.

How to use Recoat

  1. Choose a photo — your house from the street, or a room. The whole wall in the picture works well.
  2. Tap the wall. Smart tap paints the wall you touch and stops at its edges.
  3. Fix the edges. Move Edge sensitivity, or use lasso, polygon, brush and eraser. Pinch to zoom in.
  4. Add trim and door. Tap "+ Surface" for trim, door or shutters. Add Keep as is over windows, brick or the roof so they never get painted.
  5. Save and take it to the store. Save the image with its color card. The hex code and LRV help you compare real paint samples.

Tips for better photos

Questions people ask

Does it sync?

No, on purpose. Your photos and projects stay on this phone. Use Settings → Back up everything to move them to a new phone, then Settings → Restore from backup there.

How do I stop it from painting my windows or door?

Add Keep as is and tap or draw over them. Smart tap never paints there.

It painted too much (or too little). What do I do?

Tap Undo, lower (or raise) Edge sensitivity and tap again. For the last details use lasso, polygon, brush or eraser. If a spot already belongs to another surface, Recoat tells you and offers to paint it as the surface you're working on.

Are these real paint brand colors?

No. Recoat shows any color you pick by hex code. It is not matched to any paint brand. Always test a real sample. In My colors you can write the name or code from your paint sample.

Why does my wall look different from the sample?

Screens, cameras and light change colors. Use the photo only to compare ideas.

What is LRV?

Light reflectance value: how much light a color reflects, from 0 (black) to 100 (white). Recoat estimates it from the screen color; paint makers measure it on real paint.

Where are my saved images?

In the folder you picked the first time you tapped Save to phone. If you picked Pictures, they also show up in your gallery. You can change the folder on the Save & share screen.

What happens after the 7 days?

If you don't buy Recoat, it opens on the unlock screen. Your projects stay on your phone, untouched, and from that screen you can still save the image of any project, export your color list or back up everything, free. Tap Unlock forever to buy it once and keep using it.

I bought Recoat. How do I get it on a new phone?

Settings → Your plan → Restore purchase, with the same Google account you used to buy it. You are not charged twice. To bring your projects too, use Settings → Back up everything on the old phone and Settings → Restore from backup on the new one.

How do I delete everything?

Settings → Delete all my data. It removes every project, photo and saved color from this phone. See the Privacy Policy for full steps.

Recoat te deja probar colores de pintura sobre una foto de tu casa o de un cuarto: toca la pared, elige un color, marca con Dejar igual lo que no se pinta (ventanas, ladrillo, tejado) y guarda la imagen con su tarjeta de colores. Es gratis por 7 días con todo incluido, sin tarjeta; después, un pago único opcional por Google Play te la deja para siempre (sin suscripción, sin anuncios, sin cuenta; RevenueCat procesa la compra). Si no compras, no se borra nada y llevarte tu trabajo (imágenes, lista de colores y respaldo) es gratis siempre. Para pasar tu compra a otro teléfono: Ajustes → Tu plan → Restaurar compra, con la misma cuenta de Google. No se sincroniza a propósito: todo queda en tu teléfono (usa Ajustes → Respaldar todo para pasarlo a otro). Los colores no están igualados a ninguna marca: prueba siempre una muestra real. Para borrar todo: Ajustes → Borrar todos mis datos. Ayuda: cmorehollman@gmail.com.
