System and method for selecting paint compositions based on expected paint application conditions

An expert system for computing an adjustment procedure for obtaining an adjusted exterior waterborne paint composition for an exterior surface to be painted at a paint application site, the system comprising:

• a non-transitory memory comprising at least one record corresponding to a starting exterior waterborne paint composition comprising a plurality of base chemical compounds, a base value being associated with each one of the plurality of base chemical compounds in the starting exterior waterborne paint composition;
• a processing module comprising one or more processors;
• a network interface module comprising one or more physical network interface;
• a first set of software instructions, stored in the non-transitory memory, the first set of software instructions, when executed by the processing module, obtain environmental conditions for the paint application site at geographical coordinates considering a request received for the paint application site through the network interface module from a remote device, the environmental conditions comprising relative humidity data for the geographical coordinates and temperature data for the geographical coordinates;
• a second set of software instructions, stored in the non-transitory memory, the second set of software instructions, when executed by the processing module, compute, based on the relative humidity data for the geographical coordinates, the temperature data for the geographical coordinates and substrate identification data for the exterior surface to be painted, a target value for each of a plurality of target chemical compounds in an adjusted exterior waterborne paint composition for the exterior surface to be painted;
• a third set of software instructions, stored in the non-transitory memory, the third set of software instructions, when executed by the processing module, determine when the plurality of target values is different from the plurality of base values;
• a fourth set of software instructions, stored in the non-transitory memory, the fourth set of software instructions, when executed by the processing module upon determination that plurality of target values is different from the plurality of base values:
• compute an adjustment procedure for transforming the starting exterior waterborne paint composition into the adjusted exterior paint composition for the exterior surface to be painted;
• and
• send instructions, through the network interface module to the remote device, comprising the adjustment procedure for obtaining the adjusted exterior waterborne paint composition from the starting exterior waterborne paint composition for the exterior surface to be painted.
