Paint & Color Selection

Popular product and color questions — finishes, matching and brand choices.

Which paint brands do you stock?

Duracoat · Crown · Plascon
We stock Duracoat, Crown Paints and Plascon — quality brands chosen for durability, colour depth and availability across our branches.

Can you match an existing paint color?

Tinting service
Yes. Bring a physical sample or a digital photo under natural light and our tinting machines can match or reproduce the shade across all three brands.

Which finish should I choose (matte, silk, gloss)?

Finish guidance
Matte hides wall imperfections and gives a soft finish; Silk (satin) is easier to clean and ideal for living areas; Gloss is great for trims, metal and woodwork where durability & cleanability matter.

Do you provide paints suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?

Moisture resistant paints
Yes — we stock moisture and mould-resistant emulsion and specialist primers for humid areas. Ask for "bathroom/exterior-grade" options depending on the surface.

Do you offer color consultation?

Design help
Yes — our in-store advisors can guide you on palettes, contrasts and finishes. For larger projects we offer recommendations based on lighting, room function and trends.

Can you tint custom colors?

Tinting & mixing
Yes — we mix custom colors on site. Tints are applied to the base paint depending on the brand and finish you choose.

Do you sell brushes, rollers and other accessories?

Tools & supplies

Do you recommend professional painters?

Can I have the paint delivered?

Delivery
Yes — we deliver within Kisumu, Muhoroni and nearby areas. Delivery fees and lead times depend on quantity and location.

Technical Questions

How many coats are needed?

Coverage guidance
Generally two full coats after priming will give good, even coverage. For very dark-to-light changes or porous surfaces, a primer/undercoat is recommended.

How long does paint take to dry?

Drying times
Touch dry times vary: usually 30 minutes to 2 hours. Full cure is typically 24–48 hours depending on humidity, temperature and paint type.

How should I prepare a wall?

Surface prep
Clean the surface, remove loose paint, sand rough spots, fill holes, and use a suitable primer. We sell surface preparation products for every job.
