Paint N Go

If you head down Race Course Road and turn onto RC Dutt Road, you'll find us at number 26. Paint N Go isn't a place where you'll find people in suits. We usually have paint on our clothes and hands by midday. The shop is a bit dusty and smells like thinners and fresh coats of color, which I’ve grown to like over the years. We’ve got cans stacked up against the walls and brushes soaking in jars all over the place. It's a bit of a mess, but we know where everything is. The traffic on this road can be a nightmare during rush hour, so we usually try to get the heavy work done early. Sometimes a customer comes in and isn't sure what they want, so we just show them a few scraps of wood or metal with different finishes. It’s straightforward work. We don't use fancy software or anything like that; we just use our eyes and our hands. The roof leaks a tiny bit when it pours, so we have a bucket we put out. It’s been like that for two years. We just keep working around it. It’s a local business, and most of the people who come by are from the neighborhood. We like it that way. No drama, just getting the painting done and moving on to the next one.
