Harlequin Paints was started by three people back in 1999. A paint applicator, a designer and a chemist. An unusual combination but one that has proved to be highly successful.

This puts us in a unique position amongst paint companies where we understand paint from concept to manufacture and the finished application.

We began by manufacturing waterbased paint technique products , woodwashes, colourwashes, antique glazes, crackle glazes etc., and then moved quickly on to cretesealer ( a sealer for Gypsum plaster), a wide variety of waterbased varnishes and sealers, and now a comprehensive solvent free paint range. The environment is important to us and this was taken into consideration when choosing to go solvent free.

Our factory is in Cape Town where we employ a friendly team. All our products are made by us in our factory and then sold to various retail outlets throughout South Africa and Namibia.

Customers are more than welcome to visit us in our factory for advice, or samples or just a chat.
