Short profile:
Craftmaster Paints didn ‘t happen over night. Leading canal boat painter Phil Speight trained as a coach-painter in the mid 1960‘s and is still in the business now - over 30 years later. Some years ago he concluded that the paint he had been using for quite sometime was no longer performing satisfactorily, and this was compounded by a decline in the service offered by it‘s manufacturer.
Consequently he and his colleague John Sanderson began to test all the obvious alternatives but for various reasons they found nothing that would provide a long term alternative. There was some good news though.
They met, in HMG Paints of Manchester, a manufacturer who was keen to help.
Detailed description:
Since then the boat painter and the paint maker have worked together to produce a range of products that cover all the particular needs of the canal and vintage transport markets. Coach enamels, coloured undercoats, decorative paint and primers all aimed at our specific markets and they are being used, and highly praised, by an ever increasing number of painters both amateur and professional.
At the same time Craftmaster have tried to address the service requirements of all our customers. We have for example an even-handed price structure that gives no-one an unfair trading advantage. We will supply any customer with small quantities, to the extent that anyone can buy special “one-off” colours in single litres, and our standard coach enamels (26 colours) are available in quarter litre tins. Service to our customers is at the heart of our business - that’s why Phil, one of the leading practitioners on the canal system, deals with all technical queries and requests for advice himself whenever possible.
