We manufacture our own paints in Kenya and sell directly to homeowners, contractors, property managers, developers and businesses. No distributors. No retailers. No middleman markups.
Experience the finish, workability and project discipline Octagon Paints delivers on homes, apartments and commercial properties across Kenya.
Homes, mansionettes and interiors finished with Octagon systems.
Apartments, offices, retail spaces and multi-unit developments.
We are different from every other paint company in Kenya. Most paint brands sell through distributors and retailers, and each middleman adds a markup. By the time the paint reaches you, the price has doubled or tripled.
Octagon Paints was founded in July 2021 by two chemical engineers who saw a better way. They asked a simple question: why should Kenyan homeowners and businesses pay inflated prices for quality paint?
Their answer was simple: sell directly to you. We manufacture our own paints, then supply homeowners, contractors, property managers, developers and businesses without distributor or retailer markups.
The result: Crown Paints quality at a lower price, with professional painting services available from the same source.

"Octagon's Octamatt exterior wall finish is similar to Basco Paints' Dura Coat when dry, but has a slightly longer drying period. This actually makes it easier to work with on large walls."
