Top 5 painting supply companies

Painting Supply Companies

An important aspect of painting, big surprise, is picking the right paint supply company! Or more specifically, the right paint for your job. 

While you may be an expert DUI home renovator or hiring some of the best professional painters in the game… it all boils down to making sure you have got the paint right and plenty of it! 

There are a few preliminary questions to ask yourself when selecting the right paint, such as; 

• Whether you are painting inside or outside (consider if your paint is going to be facing the elements or not) 

• Are you using a primer (hint- you should be)?

• What is the predicted lifespan of the paint you are choosing (the longer the better)?

• What specific areas are you painting (for example a fence will require different paint to a bathroom)?

While you choose the colour, the painter and the timeframe… allow us to recommend the top five painting supply companies to take your pick from!

Dulux

Dulux is a strong competitor in the painting supply industry. Offering such a diverse range of products. Due to their vast options we thought we better include a product breakdown. Dulux’s paint products include; 

Wash & Wear  

AKA very resistant, strong and tough. Providing a long lifespan for your walls. Because who wants to paint the exterior of a WHOLE house only to have it wash away in the next big storm - not us. 

Renovation Range 

Perfect for home renos, this water-based product is best suited to interiors such as the kitchen, bathroom and laundry. Adding that sheek feel to your space. 

Duramax 

These spray painting products dry 10 times faster than normal paint making it perfect for larger jobs on wood, metal and most plastic. Perfect for those less patient or outdoor projects in general.

Enamels 

Hard wearing finish; this product works well for skirting, doors, architraves and window frames to complete your look.

Dulux Precision 

Technically not PAINT but primer is an extremely vital part of the process. This product provides a sound base for any topcoats. 

Weathershield 

Suited for that harsh Aussie climate of both heavy rain one day and extreme heat the next. Don’t worry about UV rays fading the impact of your colour with weathershield. 

Design Effects  

Suited for the trendsetters, this statement range is sicker than your average coat of paint. Offering something a little different from the rest. 

Textures 

Suited for gardens, front yards and patios. Brightening up your outdoor areas with a touch of modern paint. 

Bunnings Paint

Bunnings, if it is anything DIY related - they have got you covered! Bunnings offers over 2000 paint products and a wealth of insight if you are taking on a paint job yourself. As such we HAD to include them in our top five painting supply companies. Truly, is there anything Bunnings can’t do?

Resene

A popular option among professional painters, Resene has won a multitude of awards for its manufacturing of colours, coatings, wood stains and paints for exterior/interior house painting plus commercial, industrial and marine painting applications.

Inspirations Paint Stores

With over 100 stores nation-wide you are sure to be within reasonable distance of an Inspirations Paint Store and if you are out the back of nowhere they will ship it to you! Offering a magnitude of paint products and resources they are a great supplier option! 

The Paint Depot

Last but not least the Paint Depot is a chip off the old block (so to speak), first opening back in 1990. The Paint Depot is frequently adding new paint products, making it a great option for those undertaking a home reno or just looking for something new. They also have a super friendly team happy to help with any enquiries.

So there it is, the top five painting supply companies out there, trusted by us at Service.com.au.

While it can be easy to race ahead into picking colours and where to decorate next, you first want to ensure you have the premium paint supplier best suited to your needs. There is nothing worse than a paint job that wears off after a couple of weeks, or running out of paint halfway through a job! Planning is key.
