Our Story

About JF Paints

Your Personal Paint Specialists


JF Paints was a small paint store in Upington. This retail store later evolved into our first distribution centre in 1996 with a simple philosophy to deliver superior customer service. Our first store was a welcoming place where customers always found the assistance and expertise that they required. JF Paints has grown into four distribution centres spread across South Africa and Namibia.

Since then, we have grown into one of the largest distributors and retailers of paint in South Africa, with the establishment of 8 retail branches across the Eastern, Western and Northern Cape. The success of this has afforded us the ability to open a new chapter in catering for a modern online customer.

We are comprised of a great team of people, all of whom have backgrounds in the paint or decorating industry. Our team includes highly qualified tradesmen, experienced decorators, exceptionally skilled store managers and sales representatives as well as technical support personnel.

We supply professional paints and coatings of the highest quality, along with all the necessary tools and equipment to a wide range of customers, including local authorities, contractors, painters, architects, interior designers and the home DIY enthusiast.

When it comes to premium paints for your home or business, we have set the standard for excellence. We distribute daily only the best paint and its related products and deliver superior performance and application advice with every product. Paired with our incomparable selection of authentic colours, our products are formulated to help you achieve beautiful, lasting results every time you paint.
