Naylor Paint

Great Mom and Pop shop, but they can handle the needs of the big guys too! Top quality materials, expert advice and fair prices. Best place to buy stain in Los Angeles…

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Naylors. They are the only paint store I have gone to for the last 20+ years I’ve lived in the 90 291.
They are amazing at matching paint colors. I’ve challenged them many a time and they have never failed to match any obscure old little paint chip I’ve brought them.
Now I also have to sing their praises at being wonderful people too. My daughter goes to Broadway Elementary. I am on the beautification committee. Naylors matched paint colors we needed for the wall in front of the school as well as some student murals. They donated all of the paint. The manager said that Broadway was his home school when he was a kid and he was so happy we were bringing it back to it’s former glory. Bravo Naylors. A great store and great citizens of Venice.

George and Larry are both very helpful and are both very knowledgable about finishes and paints.

George couldn’t have been more helpful. We came in looking to re-​paint a table and he walked us through each step of the whole project, set us up with everything we needed and spent the time to make sure we knew what we were doing. Definitely recommended to anyone looking for good service.

Love this place. Had discontinued stain that no one in Los Angeles could match but Naylor matched it. Friendly knowledgeable staff that thinks outside the box for your project. Highly recommended.

Naylor Paint is the Cat’s Pajamas.

It was my first visit and I appreciate the service George extended me. He was very knowledgeable and helped me out with equipment/​tools I’d need to restore a rotted wood patio door I’m guessing is nearly 80 years old. I’ll be back here for future supplies most definitely. Naylor’s Paint, my new go to spot for my DIY needs.

Mike helped us match paint using some chips from our wall. He is a paint detective. Nailed it. All the guys were super friendly and helpful and saved us a ton of time and money with their expertise.
Highly recommend for any painting job!

Larry and the boys over there are great. They are very helpful and dont have attitude when you ask for something. I love to support the mom and pop stores.

I love this place. The guys are super knowledgable, I am a contractor and go here all the time, they have honestly made me a better contractor with what I have learned from them. The guys are very helpful and their products are great. Truly a gem. If i could give 10 stars i would.

Wow! I feel like a paint expert after spending a half hour with the salesman here! I came to the store needing NO VOC high gloss paint — first of all, they carry Mythic Paint, which is non-​toxic — not easy to come by turns out. The man that helped me was very up front about my color options, as I was contemplating black, he tells me that the black that he would have to mix doesn’t come out a true black (because it’s not pre-​mixed). We went ahead with a blue instead and are very happy with it. My husband and I had walked in the store 20 minutes before closing and the man stayed 15 minutes after closing to help us find all the materials we needed, without pressuring us to buy things we didn’t need. He happily answered all our questions about how to make paint last longer, how to correctly clean the brushes and rollers, and what the best way to paint doors, etc. All without feeling like he was ready to get us out of there. Love this store and would go here for all my future painting needs.)h, he also gave me the price of the paint BEFORE he mixed it, which was so appreciated since after it’s mixed, it’s pretty much yours. Great service, great product!

The delivery guy with the mustache who drives the white van is SO ATTRACTIVE!
Like seriously! but the man in the blue van is even sexier!!!

LOVE THIS PLACE! The other day I was at home depot looking at paints and just felt frustrated. they were calling out #51 while the ticker tags were up to #62. wait an hour? or just drive to naylor?
so glad i left home depot and came here instead. walked and showed the guys a photo of something i wanted paint matched. they found something in a minute. asked what type of paint i wanted and made it. it really was toooo easy!
i compared the cost to home depot and found that a gallon of behr was $ 26. i bought a gallon of devoe paint for the same amount.
they also have non toxic brands like mystic, but i dont have kids, so i didnt really care.
overall, i think this is going to be my go to paint shop from now on. :)

You want to go to small mom and pop shops. Buy local. It’s the right and good thing to do for our country, God damned it! America was built on our gun toting forefathers opening shops and thriving, paying taxes and hiring locals. Did that sound good? The truth is who wants to freaking wait in line at Home Depot to get shitty paint from clueless orange aproned careless slackers* then wait in another line to buy the rest of the crap you needed, chunks of which you forgot the last time you were walking around in the lurking aisles. Helpful ‘associates’ are never around when you need them. The super helpful good ones stand in a grouping of 4 or 5 wearing perfectly cleaned aprons asking «Can I help you?» and when you say yes they huddle over one walkie talky looking for a «real» ‘associate’ to escort you to the light bulbs or whatever.
At Naylors you get the attention your paint clueless soul needs. Only male employees (I’m just sayin) who know what they are doing and with whom you can have a valuable conversation — and not just about that little piece of paint you peeled off of your baseboard that you want to match, but conversations about funny goings on in the world and terrible jokes. This place is like a black owned barber shop only here it’s latin and white and white-​ish. Joking banter by real characters. And people who read (probably watch) the news and want to share the details. I love this place and the guys: the occasionally stressed out one who gets his panties in a real twist if you overload him with too many questions (oh you know who you are), Larry the wise guy owner and nature photographer (I guess he takes his exotic trips off his taxes since he hands out fantastic calendars of his beautiful work every end of year), the gawky tall guy, the horny guy. The Cougar hunter. All here waiting to serve you.
Learn about the different paints needed for your job. Ask questions about deck sealer, peruse the Hollywood Art Department supplies, get non latex gloves, waxes, tints, gigantic sea sponges, all sorts of tools. Most importantly get your questions answered correctly and purchase high quality materials from professional guys who don’t wear orange.
* Not that everyone who dons an orange apron is a slacker, but there is a slacker attitude that one must have to work in HD. You know what I mean.

I was especially impressed with the selection of all natural wood staining products in addition to the regular stains. Great customer service! Miguel was very nice and helpful… thank you Miguel!

I bought Mythic Paint for home remodel. Naylor Paint runs a sale of 30% discount on Mythic on the first and third wkends of each month. That’s great help on the price. The staff is also extremely helpful and not pushy. They are very knowledgeable about different brands of paint, techniques, color selections. In particular I worked with Mike and George since I was in the shop each week for nearly 4 weeks to pick up various buckets of paint and supplies. Nice guys and very helpful. Prices are higher than Home Depot even for basic stuff but that’s alright. These guys are much more helpful than the guys at Home Depot! I will come back here for wood stains when I tackle refinishing furniture next!

The guys here were pretty helpful as far as willingness to talk to you about paints… The one thing I wasn’t too fond of was the way they made it sound nearly impossible to find oil based paints in LA. There aren’t as many now, but they’re still out there with just a little bit of searching.
Anyway, we’re planning on a no/​low VOC paint for our place, so kudos to them for offering healthier choices to consumers.
Make sure to grab a calendar, as they have a sale on their top sellers every other weekend. I think you end up saving 15% off of what can be a pretty pricy can of paint.

I was recommended to Naylor as a good alternative to Home Depot. I found that for the price you get a much higher quality paint. Also the service is unbeatable, they really take the time to make sure they get you what you need. I wont go anywhere else when looking for paint going forward, thanks guys!

I discovered Naylor’s because I was looking for Mythic brand non-​toxic paint for my daughter’s room, and Naylor’s was one of the only stores in town that sold it. Their staff was extremely helpful and courteous in answering my questions. And, they never tried to sell me on stuff I didn’t need. This place is family-​run and soooo much better than the big box chain stores. Pick up their calendar to find out when they run specials … they happened to offer 30% off Mythic the day I was there. You will be happy you gave these folks your business! Go here now!

Sooo much better than Home Depot! If your going to be painting, do yourself a favor and go to this family run store rather than one of those oversized chains Their selection is pretty darn good for being a medium sized store. It’s a friendly and helpful enough crew (like any paint store, you may have to wait if you go in during the busy part of the day — it’s still better than the wait at Home Depot paint department). There is very little turnover amongst staff, so regulars shoppers definitely get noticed and appreciated. I’m in here a couple times a year — the staff has always helped me find what I need and answered all of my questions. There’s a small parking lot in back, which is always nice.
The fact that the store gives back to the community by donating paint for school murals and the like — not to mention the free bbq on customer appreciation day, add to the overall charm that is Naylor Paints.
