Shilpark Paint Company

Great customer service + huge selection + better prices than Home Depot and OSH. These guys were so polite and helpful. They answered all my questions and helped me figure out what I needed for my painting project.

They are always super helpful! Before I walked in here I had no idea about Epoxy and floor coating… Now our company is doing out own floor and painting and our facility looks amazing! They have the best prices and most colors are in Stock, if you want colors custom made, they make it within that day. Don’t go to Home Depot for your projects, come here first! Thanks Jay Park!

Listen, I am no Martha Stewart, nor a licensed paint contractor. I am, however, a renter of a new studio that I decided to make feel like my «home» by splashing some color on the walls. I found Shilpark through my Unilocal app and decided to hop on over to see what I could drum up on the DIY home décor front. It’s a bit of an intimidating place if your day job doesn’t involve work overalls and the staff isn’t too inclined to help you even though you look extremely out of place, but their prices are ridiculously better than hitting up a big box home improvement place. I’m sure if I knew the right questions to ask, I would have left with all the proper first-​time painter essentials (like a step stool, who knew a ceiling would be so hard to reach on the tippie toes and paint stirrer), however I basically rummaged through their endless supply of paint and paint things to get the basics (paint, brushes, rollers, plastic sheet to cover furniture/​floor, etc.).
The following was about $ 60: 1 gallon of paint, ½ gallon of black chalk paint, two small brushes (to work the angles of the room), two roller pin packets that included the rollers, sponge for the rollers and tin to put the paint in, a roll of plastic, painter’s tape, and some cheap thing to fix the porcelain chips in the bathtub. I mean, I would have easily paid double that anywhere else, so even though I didn’t get coddled at the store, I’m pretty sure I got the best deal out there!

OSH, Lowe’s and Home Depot all carry over-​priced paint in my opinion. If you want an alternative, definitely check out this place. They have several brands of paint that they carry from Benjamin Moore to Tibbetts, but this place is a painting mecca. I’ve been coming here for over 10 years for all my painting needs…
You can learn a lot by coming here and just talking to people, especially from 7−9am when all the painters come here to load up on supplies. If you want a no-​frills paint place, check this place out.
