Common Questions About Us

How do I get more information or technical advice about the products you sell on your website? First check our Blog Articles by choosing from a category on the right side of this page. Our team of experts have spent countless hours writing HOW TO articles for many of the products we offer. You will find comprehensive answers to your technical questions along with the product links needed.

If the answer to your question is not there, our staff is available to answer technical questions. The fastest and easiest way to do this is through email by submitting your question to info@BottomPaintStore.com . Or for more advanced technical questions, please contact the manufacturer directly by going to their website via the about us tab.

Do you sell current, new products? Yes. The products we sell are always brand new and fresh from the factory. We offer no used, or preowned products.

Do you have a physical store location? Unfortunately, we don’t have a store front, but we did ship out of 12 warehouses to anywhere in the Continental U.S via our web store. Depending on the product(s) you order, you could have it the next day!

Do you have a printed catalog you can send me? We don’t offer a printed catalog. We are constantly adding new products and a printed catalog would be out-of-date as soon as it was printed! However, you can find over 30,000 items online that are updated daily. Many of the items ship for free anywhere in the Continental U.S. Happy Shopping!

How do I locate an MSDS sheet or technical data sheet? We provide a link to this information on each product page.

What if I need warranty service? Our suppliers hold to the strictest standards of quality control, and all of our products are fully warranted by the manufacturer. If by chance you receive a product which is defective, the manufacturer’s warranty information and service address will be clearly marked on or in the package you receive. If your product is damaged in shipping, the issue can quickly be resolved by notifying UPS. If you ever have questions not answered by the manufacturer or by UPS, please contact us.
