Lotey Paint Store

We are located at 60 G T Road, right at the 13th Cross. If you see the Corporation Building, you’re pretty much there. Lotey Paint Store is a local place, and we’ve been here long enough that the walls could probably tell some stories. The shop is filled with the smell of fresh paint and metal. I spend most of my time behind the counter, unless I’m back in the storeroom trying to find a specific shade someone asked for. G T Road is always busy, so there’s a lot of honking and noise coming in from the street. I keep a small radio on the shelf to drown it out a bit. The shelves are packed, and sometimes things get a little disorganized when we’re in the middle of a big delivery. I try to keep it neat, but it’s a constant battle. Most of our customers are folks from around the neighborhood or contractors who have been coming to us for years. We don’t do big advertisements or anything like that. People just know we’re here. It’s a plain, practical shop. If you need something for a painting project, we probably have it tucked away somewhere. I like the work because I get to talk to all sorts of people every day. It’s just a normal way to earn a living. The shop isn't fancy, but it gets the job done and we know where everything is, mostly.
