OUR JOURNEY

 

Why choose a high-end professional paint made in France ? 

Before becoming a distributor of professional paints, our work was on construction sites. For several years, we worked as facade painters and used MAESTRIA paints on a daily basis. This hands-on experience allowed us to select reliable, high-performance products that meet the demands of both professionals and individuals. It is this passion for the trade that led us to create Couleurs d'Argence and our online store..

Then, with the experience gained, we opened the COULEURS D’ARGENCE store in 2013, where we chose to distribute MAESTRIA paints, as well as other French brands for preparation work and consumables.,…

 

We have the opportunity to work with family and our primary objective is to satisfy our professional and individual customers by offering them a wide range of high-end products, made in France, by providing them with all the advice of a professional, and respecting the environment as much as possible through a short circuit.

A quick digression to introduce you to the PEINTURES MAESTRIA Company :

The factory, then named FPA, FABRIQUE DE PEINTURES DE L'ARIEGE, is located in Pamiers in Ariège, it was created by Mr Paul MAES, chemist, in 1963, then will be passed on to his son Mr Benoist MAES. The paint factory became PEINTURES MAESTRIA in 1992 and it is the industrial and international group that has remained independent. The PEINTURES MAESTRIA Group has managed to attract large French companies such as AIRBUS, DASSAULT, THALES and many others. For 50 years it has offered diversity and high quality of its products.

This is why we were attracted and why we decided, by building a WEB site, to be able to offer you all the ranges of PEINTURES MAESTRIA  and to receive them, without obligation to come to our points of sale, directly at YOU. You will be able, by browsing the site, depending on your objectives, your tastes and your budget, to take the time to compare and inform yourself with our indications on the destination and properties of the products, as well as their associated technical sheet .
