G&R Paint Company: Paint Going "Green"

Phillip Reno, owner of G&R Paint Co. in San Francisco, is one of Mythic Paint’s retailers. In an interview with PDR, Reno discusses the importance of “Going Green” in the paint industry. The article boasts of G & R Paint Co. offering Mythic’s “line of low-odor, low-VOC coatings that are free of carcinogens, ethylene and crystalline silica.” Reno’s customers are becoming more environmentally friendly and demand high-quality paint that contains zero toxins. Mythic Paint fills this void and Reno is proud to offer the line and other green products.

Reno stated, “When I first started out, I couldn’t give ‘green’ paint away, and now it’s part of every conversation. Contractors, homeowners and everybody else are pretty much interested in the VOC conversation.” Continuously educating himself and employees on environmental paint trends allows Reno to maintain expertise and offer advice to customers. The overall environmental advice Reno offers customers is to frequent independent retailers offering high-quality products, good customer service and expertise. Purchasing from discount stores often leads to the need to repaint and increases your negative impact of the environment.
