Fine Paints of Europe is the exclusive North American importer of premium quality paints and varnishes which are manufactured in the Netherlands by Wijzonol Bouwverven B.V.. Fine Paints is located in Woodstock, VT, U.S.A. and is generally regarded as the quality and price leader in the North American paint industry. Like their European conterparts, the company's coatings products are distinct for intensity and depth of color resulting from high content of premium pigments and resins. The paints are unlike American paints for modulating value, the light or dark quality of the color, not by using black or white pigments, but by the addition of harmonizing or complimentary pigment colors. For example, a green color is made darker by the addition of a red-orange pigment rather than black. Coatings imported by Fine Paints of Europe typically offer a much longer useful life than conventional North American coatings which are formulated for families that move every four years as opposed to the eighteen year average residency in Holland.
