Fine Paints of Europe

"This remains a most remarkable paint, expensive but certainly worth its price if you want a superior and lasting product. My staircase at home looks like new, even after almost a decade of heavy daily use. Remarkable. The review with the one star is just typical of people who can't be bothered to prepare adequately--as explained in great detail on the company's website--and then blame the company (and Emmett, lol!!) for the product not living up to their faulty expectations... Of course he won't stand by the product if you don't use it properly... Get real."

"Great product line. Even better customer service. Love that I can get answers to all my questions any time I call. Thanks Fine Paints!"

"I wish I could give this product more stars! It doesn’t matter if you are painting an exterior door or interior walls, cabinets, built ins- anything! I used to use big box stuff (think wooded animal paint) and it would last a short while but never had that ‘wow’ factor. The most recent painter I hired convinced me to try this brand on my front door. The difference was incredible! Then he tackled my cabinets and I was extremely nervous but he assured me this product would make it look like they came straight from the factory. Again I was astounded. Upon reading other reviews here, I can only assume the people who didn’t rave must have not have been professionals or simply did not prep their surfaces appropriately. Otherwise they would have been just as impressed as I am. I would assure anyone using a professional painter who recommends this product to absolutely spend the extra money on this. If your painter uses the brand you find in the forest, you’ll likely get a job that looks like it was done by the same creatures who inhabit said forest."

"The absolute finest paint and finishes in the world. I’m completely sold. Their ECO brilliant is unlike anything in the industry, pure joy to use. As a professional paint applicator I’ve used many other brands; FPE is the most beautiful material on the market. Emmett is very helpful, friendly, knowledable, always willing to educate us on the latest products. We love to make the short drive to Woodstock VT to visit and talk paint."

"The worst paint I have ever used. It costs $240 per gallon, and is very difficult to work with, leaving visible brush marks due to its composition. After two years, the paint started cracking and peeling, as if it did not have the proper durability and elasticity. We had to repaint everything with a different brand. We contacted the owner, Emmet Frank, who blamed our existing paint and primer, and would not stand by his product. A complete waste of time and money made by a company that does not care about its customers."
