Matthews Paint®

Exceptional Color and Durability for Outdoor Applications

Matthews Paint has been a leading manufacturer of acrylic polyurethane sign paint since 1935. Unlike many coatings, Matthews Paint is formulated from the start to satisfy the extreme demands of architectural, commercial, amusement and outdoor applications.

Matthews Paint provides long-lasting and durable solutions for even the most demanding architectural, commercial, and outdoor applications. All sign paints are available in a range of gloss levels and more than 100,000 colors, including metallics and pearls.

Our decades of experience mean that Matthews Paint products consistently deliver outstanding performance and results, which is how we have earned our reputation as a leading choice for designers, architects, and fabricators.
