For over 75 years, Matthews Paint has been a leading manufacturer of acrylic polyurethane sign paint. Unlike many coatings that evolved from house or automotive paint, Matthews Paint is formulated from the start to satisfy the varied and extreme demands of architectural, commercial and outdoor applications. Through an ongoing process of intensive research, development and field-testing, we offer the most advanced sign paint system available.

The Complete Matthews Paint System
Our complete high performance system features additives, topcoats, clearcoats, primers, cleaners and training resources to provide exceptional durability and vibrant, long lasting color.

​

Topcoats
Matthews Topcoats provide a long-lasting, UV resistant finish that boasts unsurpassed color and gloss retention. With three different lines to choose from—including the environmentally friendly MAP Ultra Low VOC—and unlimited color options, there is a topcoat to meet any project requirement.

​

Primers
Matthews Primers, including chromate-free and low VOC product lines, provide excellent paint adhesion to a variety of hard-to-adhere substrates and can be directly coated with any Matthews topcoat. In addition, Matthews primers offer increased paint durability, corrosion protection, and filling capability.

​

Clearcoats
Available in all finishes for a variety of applications, Matthews Clearcoats protect your paint job while enhancing its depth and vibrancy. Comprised of the same durable resin as our color lines, Matthews clearcoats provide unparalleled resistance to UV rays, moisture, harsh weather, impact, chemicals, and graffiti.
