Welcome to the DIY Retailers Team!
I hope that this is the beginning of a new creative & successful adventure! As a retailer with over 20 years of experience, there have been so many things on my wish list that I hoped to have in a paint line. All the details of DIY Paint ™ were created specifically with those wishes in mind. In my humble opinion, DIY Paint ™ is not only the highest quality Chalk & Clay paint offered at the best value on the market, it truly is an amazing product.
I believe that if you give people the tools and the knowledge to do it themselves (DIY) you will enrich their lives, and create a long lasting connection. DIY Paint ™ comes with a network of support and community that’s designed to encourage and inspire you and your customers. It is my hope that you will learn so much more than the basics of furniture painting, as we work together to discover and grow beyond our wildest dreams.
As a DIY Retailer you are a valued part of our team, and are joining a supportive community of business savvy paint enthusiasts, like yourself! It is my mission to support you in your success with DIY Paint ™ products.
NO VOCs
This is major. Not only can you paint indoors without worrying about fumes, but for those people who have allergies or are sensitive to toxins, there are NO VOCs and the paint is all natural. We love that!
ONE STEP PROCESS
If you have ever labored over sanding and then priming a piece before you even begin the fun part, you can appreciate how much time and backache this feature saves you! Besides being all natural, eliminating these steps converted me to chalk paint for good! Well, that and the gorgeous results!
GORGEOUS RESULTS
DIY Paint ™ does not contain any Latex or Acrylic! DIY Paint is chalk and clay based with a high quality dream finish. After just a simple application, I’ve transformed pieces from trash to treasures, and have seen people who claim to have no talent impress themselves with professional-looking results, as well as surprise their families.
WHAT SETS DIY PAINT ™ APART?
Aside from DIY Paint ™ featuring my actual dream colors, 27 in total (more on the way), the pigment is more saturated than any other brand of paint I know. The high quality pigment results in exceptional coverage and color richness. DIY Paint ™ uses premium NO VOC pigments resulting in magnificent deep color and excellent coverage. Compare this to other brands which add the color to a paint base for 30% pigmentation.
I’m happy to say that DIY Paint ™ is of the highest quality chalk and clay paint on the market, and competitively priced! Furthermore, you can proudly pass the savings along to your customers without compromising your margins.
The variety of techniques that I continue to discover seems to be unending! Experimenting and pioneering creative applications in m passion, new textures, layers, and finishes all contribute to unique results that I record and share with you! I publish weekly videos and fresh ways to up-cycle furniture with DIY Paint ™ and more. Combined with your passions and discoveries, I know this will be a great partnership, and together we can inspire others!
I want to make using and selling DIY Paint ™ simple! I design helpful handouts exclusively for DIY Paint ™ for my retailers and their customers. You will also find a QR scan code on each can of DIY Paint ™ that leads to a short video about the paint. Additionally, I create and post new DIY videos each week on YouTube using DIY Paint ™ and more! These are a few examples of how you can continue to expand your product expertise and educate and inspire your customers.
