The Small-Business Soul Powering America's Premium Paint Industry
The heart of our products lies in the people that created them – the makers who set out to defy traditional industry standards and create paints that celebrate artistry over automation. After tirelessly researching the finest ingredients, the founders of C2 Paint crafted an exclusive production process and carefully curated a designer palette of 496 full-spectrum colors – where Espionage, Bella Donna, Diva, and Milk Moustache are as lively and unique as the cast of characters that named them.

Family Founded. People Focused.
Since our inception, C2 Paint has been dedicated to creating products that place artistry over automation, quality over quantity, and creativity over corporate structure. The company is the brainchild of Thomas Hill III, a former paint chemist, who was looking for higher quality paints than were available in the industry at the time.
So, in 1998, he set out to do what others thought was impossible: start a paint brand that puts quality first, with no exceptions. He gathered a group of independent paint dealers and presented them with his proposition. This passionate, creative group of people formed the first and only dealer-owned paint brand in North America.
