Abstract
A system for dispensing texture material onto a target surface in a desired pattern that substantially matches an existing pattern on the target surface including a main container, an outlet assembly, a secondary container, a conduit, and a valve. The main container stores texture material. The outlet assembly defines an outlet opening a cross-sectional area of which is alterable. The secondary container stores pressurized propellant material. The conduit is operatively connected between the main container and the secondary container. The valve is arranged to allow control of fluid between the main container and the secondary container. The outlet assembly is configured such that the cross-sectional area of the outlet opening corresponds to the desired pattern. The valve is operated such that the texture material is forced out of the main container through the outlet opening defined by the outlet assembly and deposited on the target surface in the desired texture pattern.
