Matching and Services

Our service offering goes beyond selling paint. We help customers select, match, prepare and plan so that every project starts on a stronger footing.

Choose the right service for your job

Every paint job starts differently. A flat in Walmer needs a different approach from a retail space in Sandton, and coastal homes in Gqeberha often need extra care for humidity, salt air and peeling edges. That is why our service range covers matching, tinting, advice and order support, so you can pick the help that fits the project not just the product.

If you already know your colour, we can work from that. If you only have a chipped sample, a faded wall section or a room that needs a fresh look, we can help you narrow it down and plan the finish, quantity and prep work before you buy.

Colour matching and custom tinting

Our colour matching service is ideal when you need to repeat an existing shade or get close to an old finish. We check the sample, talk through the lighting in the room and then mix the paint to suit the space and surface. For many customers this saves time and avoids buying too much, or too little, product.

Custom tinting is useful for feature walls, business interiors and touch ups across larger properties. We can also mix sample pots for testing on-site before you commit to a full order.

  • Match from a painted chip, flake or sample piece
  • Mix small test quantities before a full tint
  • Check colour under natural and artificial light
  • Adjust for interior or exterior use

Sample pots and colour consultation

Testing a colour in your own light is one of the best ways to avoid disappointment. Sample pot mixing lets you paint a patch on the actual wall, then look at it in morning light, late afternoon and under lamps or office lighting. A colour that looks warm in Bellville can read cooler on a shaded wall in Korsten, so small tests matter.

Our colour consultation service helps with tone, finish and practical use. We can talk through washable walls for family homes, lower-sheen options for busy areas, and tougher exterior choices where sun and rain are constant factors.

Surface prep and repaint troubleshooting

Good paint performs better on a sound surface. We advise on cleaning, filling, sanding and priming so the finish lasts longer and the final colour stays true. If you are repainting over stubborn stains, chalky walls, hairline cracks or old gloss, the prep stage is often where the real fix starts.

For repaint problems, we help identify common causes such as poor adhesion, patchiness, flashing, water marks and damp-related failure. That means you can correct the issue before applying another coat and wasting material.

  • Wall cleaning and dust removal advice
  • Primer and sealer recommendations
  • Crack, stain and damp problem checks
  • Finish advice for plaster, wood and metal

Trade orders and bulk quantity planning

Contractors and regular trade customers need clear quantities, quick turnarounds and less back-and-forth. We help with bulk planning, so your order matches the size of the job and the timeline on site. That matters on larger repaints, shopfitting work and unit developments where delays can affect handover dates.

If you manage a contractor account, we can help with repeat ordering, product selection for different surfaces and practical order notes for teams working across more than one site. From Randburg service calls to Cape Town branches, the aim is the same, keep the job moving and avoid shortfalls.

Branch support across Gqeberha, Joburg and Cape Town

Our Korsten base in Gqeberha supports customers from Walmer and Newton Park through to nearby trade and home projects, while our Joburg and Cape Town branches help serve Sandton, Randburg and Bellville. That reach helps when a project needs a quick colour check, a follow-up mix or advice on a second batch.

You can send us a message through our contact form for guidance before you visit or to talk through a job that needs matching, tinting or product recommendations. We work with DIY customers, decorators and contractors, and we keep the advice practical so you can get on with the painting.

Whether it is one room, a block of units or a commercial repaint, our support is there to help you start with the right colour and the right plan.

Questions we get asked

Can you match paint from an old wall sample?

Yes. Bring a painted chip, a flake or a small sample piece and we will work from that to get as close as possible to the original shade.

Do you help with coastal homes in Gqeberha?

Yes. We can advise on prep, primer and exterior product choices for salt air, sun and moisture, which are common in coastal areas.

Can I get help before placing a trade order?

Yes. We can help with quantities, product selection and repaint troubleshooting before you place the order, especially for larger jobs or contractor work.
