The app is versatile and the uses are limited only by your imagination. It supports numerous object shapes and custom bezier paths, as well as detailed color options including linear and radial gradients. PaintCode is full of tools that blend together the look and feel of traditional vector drawing apps while including customizable fields you would more commonly see in Apple’s Interface Builder. ![]() However, it is up to you to get your money’s worth out of the app. The normal selling price of $99.99 (currently $19.99 via MacHeist) is a big pill to swallow for the average user but for a professional iOS/OS X developer it is merely a business investment. PaintCode is a professional quality app and the price tag is a reflection of that fact. It is a unique Mac app capable of turning your vector graphic design into pure Objective-C code. If you do know your colour code or the name of your car’s colour, your can search for a paint using these as well. Then look for a stockist near you and go and buy your perfect match. ![]() If you are active in the Apple developer community, you are probably already familiar with PaintCode. You can search for your car by make, colour and year, and you’ll see which paints match your car’s colour.
