Proudly Made in the Midwest
For us, paint isn’t just what we make, it’s what we obsess over. For 130-plus years, we’ve formulated and manufactured high-performance coatings engineered for the Midwest. And we back it all up with the personal service you not only demand — but deserve.
Our History
A Century of Service
We’ve been around a long time – and we don’t take that lightly. O’Leary Paint started in Michigan in 1891 and has stayed committed to the same core belief ever since: do right by your customers, and everything else will follow. We proudly back that up with premium paints formulated specifically for the Midwest.
Our Mission
We partner with our customers to achieve the best possible outcome for every painting project by providing high-quality products, superior business support, and a caring staff. We operate with humility, passion, unity, servanthood, and thankfulness to create an environment of trust and mutual respect—for our customers, our team, and our communities.
Our Vision
To be Michigan and Indiana’s most valued paint supplier in every market we serve.
Humility
Know who we are.
Thankfulness
Learn from every circumstance.
Passion
Don’t be lukewarm.
Unity
Don’t divide our house.
Servanthood
Make everyone better.
Made here. Engineered for here.
Every gallon of O’Leary Paint is made right here in the midwest. And we don’t just manufacture in the Midwest, we formulate our products for it. That means products that actually work in the conditions you deal with every day – from lake effect snow to those humid summers we all know – supported by people who live where you live.
Find a Store And Let’s Get to Work
We have multiple locations from Elkhart, Indiana to Traverse City, Michigan. Each is staffed with veteran paint experts who understand the ins and outs of what you need to do the job right, every time.
We Prefer to Let Our Customers Do the Talking
This is where you want to get your paint. It’s a whole different experience than your big box stores. Personal service and everyone in there knows what they are talking about. If you are looking for deck stain this is also your spot.

The paint is great and they have specialty paints I’ve been trying to switch my company to. They’ve been nothing but exceptional with help and advice!

What can I say! These guys are in a class of their own. They make their own paint locally, it’s quality products, the price is usually reasonable, and the workers friendly and knowledgeable.

O’Leary is my go to paint store for projects big and small. Awesome quality at a reasonable price point. Why pay more?
Staff is knowledgeable and always helps me find the appropriate product for the job at hand.

Great Paints Shouldn’t Come at the Expense of the Environment
From our newest product, Up Paint™, which uses premium polymers from recycled windshields to zero-VOC paints, we prioritize producing sustainable products that don’t sacrifice quality.
