The Legacy

In an era characterized by rapid change and fleeting trends, the enduring legacy of tradition holds a special significance. Classic Paints, with its roots tracing back to 1985, stands as a testament to this enduring commitment to excellence.

The History

Originally known as L & L Paints trading as Classic Paints, our journey began with the vision and dedication of the Rademan Family. Introduced to the brand by our late Father, Gideon de Swardt, a respected Master Builder and Developer in George and Bloemfontein, we as family was captivated by the exceptional quality of Classic Paints. Our individual experiences using the paint on our own developments solidified our belief in its unparalleled performance.

However, every journey encounters its share of challenges. In January 2018, L & L Paints closed its doors due to the passing of the founder, Leon Stander, presenting us with a pivotal moment. Undeterred, we saw an opportunity to preserve the legacy of Classic Paints. With unwavering determination, we acquired the intellectual property rights, brand names, and original formulations, ensuring that the essence of Classic Paints would endure.

Profound Gratitude

Yet, amidst our achievements, we pause to express our profound gratitude. To our loyal customers, whose unwavering support has been the cornerstone of our success, we extend our deepest appreciation. Your trust in Classic Paints has fuelled our journey and inspired us to strive for excellence every day. As we celebrate our achievements, we recognize that none of this would have been possible without you – our valued customers. Your loyalty, feedback, and support have been instrumental in shaping the legacy of Classic Paints. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to serve you and look forward to continuing this journey together.
