The Nelson Paint Company is the source of many innovations in the paint industry. We invented the encapsulated, washable paintball. We also developed paint marking guns, the log hammer, as well as an extensive line of marking, industrial, marine and household paints. Nelson Paint also manufactures mil-spec coatings, solvent and water-borne commercial and industrial coatings, epoxies, enamels, traffic paints, architectural coatings and specialty coatings. In addition, Nelson Paint produces and distributes solvents, cleaners, empty containers and paint sundries.
Nelson Paint Company's Retail Store is located at our factory location at One Nelson Drive, Kingsford, MI. We are located in the heart of downtown Kingsford on Carpenter Avenue. Our store may not have a fancy store exterior, but coming inside is worth the trip. Our paint products are made right here by members of our community. Open since the 1950's, we offer a wide range of products to serve the Upper Peninsula and Northern Wisconsin. Nelson Paint started making paint in 1940, and has been making and selling it locally ever since.
