Ideal Paints Pvt. Lid.

We are based out of Sakhar Peth in Solapur, at number 286. Ideal Paints Pvt. Lid. is the name on our papers, even though there's a small typo in the official registration. We don't mind it much. The shop usually smells like paint and chemicals, which you get used to after a few days. We have cans of different colors stacked all the way to the ceiling. It’s a bit of a maze in the back rooms. Solapur can get very hot, so the shop stays quite warm during the day. We have a couple of wooden stools for customers to sit on while we mix colors for them. It’s a hands-on business. My hands are usually stained with some shade of blue or red by the time I go home at night. We don't have a polished showroom. It’s more of a warehouse and sales spot combined together. People from the local neighborhoods come to us when they are fixing up their houses or painting a room. We don't use big words or fancy sales pitches to convince them. We just show them what we have in stock and tell them the price. The ledger we use is getting quite thick. We still write a lot of things down by hand because it feels more reliable that way. Sakhar Peth is a good area for business. We’ve been here for years and know everyone.
