GLOSSARY TERM
Mixing Paddle
A tool used to mix paint thoroughly, ensuring a uniform consistency.
INFO
What it is
A mixing paddle is a tool, usually fitted to a drill, used to stir paint thoroughly so it reaches a uniform consistency before application.
Why it matters
Pigments and solids settle in storage, and multi-part products must be combined precisely. Proper mixing ensures even colour, correct consistency, and reliable performance across the whole job.
Where it is used on a project
Used during preparation of materials before spraying, particularly with heavier coatings, settled products, and two-pack systems.
How NECC approaches it
We mix coatings thoroughly before application so colour and consistency are uniform, which is a simple but important step toward an even, dependable finish.

FAQ's
Why use a mixing paddle?
It blends the paint thoroughly so pigment, binder, and any settled solids are evenly distributed, giving consistent colour and performance.
Does mixing affect the finish?
Yes. Settled or poorly mixed paint can spray unevenly and vary in colour, so proper mixing is an important first step.
