Liquid Stainless Steel

Crafting colour and texture in hand-made paints, wallpapers and timber flooring for 35 years.

Porter’s Paints history starts in 1982, when Sydney house painter Peter Lewis began making traditional lime washes in a small garage in Randwick, after having discovered old paint recipes in his grandfather Fred Porter's diaries.

Fred Porter was a builder, and it was during his European travels that he collected details of building techniques and paint finishes.

It was shortly after his death that Peter discovered the diaries, found the recipes for traditional paints and decided to produce improved versions. 

Porter’s Paints is now sold around the world from New Zealand to L.A. Offering specialty finishes with a depth of colour and texture, Porter’s Paints offers unrivalled finishes for your project.
