The story
When founded in 1987, most of the company's products were destined for application in the restoration of historic properties, primarily on the East Coast of the United States. Today, the company's products are sold for both commercial and residential application. Architectural Digest and Traditional Home magazines frequently feature Fine Paints of Europe products and colors. The company also exclusively sold oil based paint until the late 1990s, when they introduced the Eurolux water-based acrylic latex line and the Eco hybrid enamel line. Founder John Lahey's inspiration for starting Fine Paints of Europe can be traced back his travels to Europe (and the Netherlands in particular) in the mid 1980s where he found paint coatings of a standard and quality unavailable in North America. Their products can be purchased a participating paint dealers or directly from the company.
In 2013 John F. Lahey followed his father, the founder, as president of the company.
