Abstract
In a method of painting a building board by a computer-controlled painting machine so that colored paint patterns are formed on a surface of the building board, data is previously set regarding a colored paint pattern to be applied to a peripheral portion of the building board and stored in a memory of a computer. The peripheral portion of the board is painted on the basis of the data stored in the memory so that the paint of the color whose data is stored in the memory is applied to the peripheral portion of the building board. Random data is originated by the computer regarding a random colored paint pattern to be applied to a portion of the building board other than the peripheral portion. The data is previously set regarding the colored paint pattern to be applied to the peripheral portion of the building board, while various paint patterns are formed of the surface of the building board by a random pattern forming function of the computer. The paint colors at breaking joints of the building boards can be prevented from causing a sense of incompatibility which is caused by a conventional painting method.
