This is a business that cares for the customer! The store sells all that you need for your painting jobs, and the store associates are very helpful and courteous. They found me the right paints and their prices are not high. The store itself is really interesting - they have all kinds of decorations on the walls. I couldn't figure out what those are, but those plaques seemed from all over the nation - and kinda old.either way, interesting to see, while you wait for your paint to be mixed - not too long - 5 min. Again, nice people that care for the customer and their business quality and I recommend them wholeheartedly.!

Lots of Benjamin Moore selections. Trying to find the perfect shade of pink for my baby girls nursery. I think I found the spot! Also, my husband lost his wallet in the store and the salesclerk found him in the store and returned it w no problem. I really appreciate patronizing businesses w honest sales people. I will be back once I try out all of the fun paint samples on her walls.

Im upset with mark's paint employees bc i called them at 4pm to let them know i was leaving downtown los Angeles to come all the way to the vally to support their business. I told them that waze said i was gonna b there a few mins after 5pm (when they close). He said ok just hurry. I called them a few more times while in route just to keep them posted, still no problem.
Then when i call at 5pm and said im still coming im 6mins out., the guy trips out and say im not staying no 5 or 10 mins! I told him, why would u let me come all the way here and not wait 5 or 10 mins when u said u were. This asshole said i thought u said u was gonna b here at 5:01, why in the fuck would i b calling u to stay open for 1 min! Then i told him i was gonna tip him $25 for the 5mins inconvenience and probably spend 500 dollars in paint smfh! So he woulda got two hours pay for helping me for about 30mins in all! Once again i drove all the way for downtown los Angeles.

I love this place and have been going there since the early 2000's when I worked as a scenic artist for the film and television industry Now, 15 years later my work has changed (I provide color consultation services, you can find me on Yelp as Custom Color and Art or visit www.customcolorandart.com) but my need for technical advice hasn't.
Today I went in with a shopping list of items I needed for a commission I am working on. I had a bunch of questions about the technical feasibility of combining materials in an unconventional way. Greg helped me, was calm and patient about my questions ranging from combining crushed walnut with gesso, working with oil pastels and the inherent problems of fixing oil pastels with a sealant.
He walked me through all my options paying attention to the economic aspect of doing it one way versus another. I think we are lucky to have Mark's Paint and their knowledgeable sales peeps, like Greg, on our doorstep here in L.A. there are just some things that you can't figure out by reading a product's technical specifications online.

I needed some hard to find gold metallic paint. And not just a small jar or spray can but a gallon or more. Apparently this is rather hard to find unless it is special ordered. Modern Masters suggested some local paint stores including Mark's Paint Store. They had a very good selection of Modern Masters paint's and color pallets to choose from. Prices were on par with the rest for this particular specialty paint.
I looked around to see they carry a good amount of high end paint and supplies too. The guys working there are also very helpful. On separate occasions they helped me out with choosing the right type of paint and fully explained the challenges of metallic paint and how to get the most out it. Everything went well and I was very please with the service and the paint.

I was directed towards Marks Paint to get some Modern Masters Metallic Paint. I had been misled by another company and after speaking with the manufactuerer they pointed me towards Marks. I am not a painter or an artist, just a guy who ends up way in over his head with his creative remodeling projects. The store is impeccably clean and they have everything you need to paint anything you want. Flourescents, metallics, indoor, outdoor, you name it.
While the staff was clearly amused by lack of paint knowledge or skill, while chuckling at my novice questions they were extremely helpful and got me pointed in the right direction. It was a great shopping experience (been there twice this past week, going again tomorrow) I would definitely recommend them for you painting projects.

What an amazing place! First of all, it's a visual feast of Hollywood history. I took my Girl Scouts in to see if we could get a little paint donated for our Silver Award project. We were hoping to leave with a few little quarts. Instead, Greg sent us off with a specially mixed gallon and a box full of quarts! We could not believe the kindness and generosity. I will be using this as my only paint store from now on!

I came in today looking for the Modern Masters product line. Most stores I have gone to have minimal stock when it comes to this line. They had a tremendous amount of Modern Masters as well as lots of very cool paint options. There was an Italian line that has glitter in it.tremendous. Customer service was friendly. This is my new go to place for all paint and supplies.

10 minutes to closing I enter the store needing 4 gallons of paint. Two of which are plain white. They say they cannot get it to me because they are about to close. Customer service is horrible! They would rather make sure they close on time than service their customers. I will never again come here or recommend anyone else. Sad. I raced across town to try to get here in time but their 5pm closing is simply ridiculous! How they stay in business is beyond me.

A little more than ten years ago when my sister and I painted her entire house, we bought EVERYthing from Marks and loved them. however, things have changed. I have painted/helped paint three rooms in the past three months. for each room we went to Mark's and found their service has gone down the tubes. On each occasion, the two guys who sit behind the counter look at me as though I'm disturbing whatever important thing they are doing on their computer.
Today was the last straw. I needed two samples mixed. they said 15-20 mins. It took a half-hour AND they didn't speak to me otherwise. However, when a guy came in who was a contractor of some sort, they were all smiles and cheers. I really like Benjamin Moore paints, but will have to find a new retailer before I start this next room.
