How To Buy Cromas Paints

On our website we do not have an online shop because Cromas has the goal of customer satisfaction. Due to our large selection of special effect paints and resins, we need to understand your project to offer you the most suitable paints for your application.

Cromas is the manufacturer of all our special paints that have been developed for professionals, artisans and commercial and industrial companies. Since the paint effects have many application options, please contact us to discuss your project.

Buying from a Cromas Distributor

Cromas has distributors in many countries. Please send us your contact details through our online contact form found on all web pages, then we will put you in contact with a distributor in your country.

Transporting Solvent-Based Paints

Our paint products are solvent-based paints and classified as Dangerous Goods (solvent-based, flammable paints). As a result, we have transport regulations that we must follow.

For TRUCK TRANSPORT in EUROPE. We are required to use truck delivery companies that are certified to transport ADR or Dangerous Goods. We are not able to use traditional delivery companies like DHL, UPS, TNT because they do not transport ADR products. Most deliveries within Europe can arrive in 5 to 10 days from our warehouse near Milan, Italy

For INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT. We can prepare your order with Air Freight or Cargo Ship transport. This is a multi-step process that includes special box or pallet preparation and the preparation of ADR and IMO documents so all regulations are followed. After the paints arrive at your international airport or sea port, the documents will go to customs for review and it is possible that additional documents and import fees will be required.

For Air Freight shipments only, the paints must be packaged in a special box/pallet with the required documents. This is carried out by a certified IATA company that guarantees security and respects the regulations.

Minimum Purchase Quantity

The minimum purchase quantity varies from product to product. Most paint effects are available in a sample kit. The sample kit includes 1 kg/L of primer, special effect paints (1 to 3 paints), topcoat, and paint hardener and paint thinner. This will allow for application tests to cover 3-5 m2. For some paint effects, custom colors are available for a minimum quantity order. Contact the office for more information.
