Paints is a mixture of pigments (color), binder
(gum) and some additives. It is usually applied
to beautify, preserve , add value or even for the
purpose of identification of a space, wall, object
and so on.
The quality of any paint brand is dependent on
the composition of the various components as
well as the production process.
The Nigerian market boast of a number of Paint
companies but some of these brands are known
to stand out by offering variety asides giving
value for money, they include:

popular Emulsion paint ‘Luxol’ currently sold

affordability and availability are usually a
challenge in small Cities.

Nigeria by Caps Paint is no doubt one of the
best and most costly paints in Nigeria. Dulux
