Universal tinting colorants
Colorant is the biggest part of our business. Cal-Tint II universal colorants come in 16 oz bottles with a flip-top dispensing cap, in 16 colors that work in latex, oil, lacquer, and stain. If you're just getting started, the Cal-Tint II Starter Set gives you 12 colors in a metal rack. ProTint is our own water-based colorant for latex and acrylic paint, sold one color at a time. Running a tinting machine? We carry Colortrend 808 and 888 in all sizes, with samples in 8 oz cans too. Not sure which one you need? Our paint tinting colorants page compares them, or just give us a call.
Exterior paints and stains
C2 Guard for wood and for masonry protects decks, fences, furniture, concrete, and brick, and we tint it to order. SunShield Pro is an extremely high performing solar reflective coating for roofs and exterior walls.
Professional paint brushes
A good brush makes cutting in a lot easier. Our paint brushes include hand-made Corona brushes like the Excalibur Chinex and the Cortez angular sash, along with Purdy and Red Frost.
HVLP spray gun parts
We also stock air caps, nozzles, cups, and small parts for American Turbine, Accuspray, and Binks HVLP guns, plus legacy 3M PPS adapters.
A Family Business Since the 1970s
My dad, Bruce, started running Prather Paint in the Chicago area in the 1970s, and my siblings and I grew up working in the store. In 2012 he and I launched uspaintsupply.com. In September 2025, we took over the business and moved it to Austin, and every order is personally handled by one of us. Have a question?
