About Us

About Santa Barbara Paint Depot


When brothers Art and Fernando Prado grew up in Santa Barbara, they never dreamed they’d be working together, let alone be the proud owners of a successful full-service paint store, Santa Barbara Paint Depot.


With decades of knowledge and experience behind them, they have grown their local presence as well as their customer base.


The Prado family is well-known in the Santa Barbara community and their locally owned and operated Santa Barbara Paint Depot provides quality, service, selection, affordable prices, and friendly advice to the Santa Barbara community and beyond.


Unlike the traditional corporate paint stores, Santa Barbara Paint Depot welcomes their customers, contractors, professionals, and DIYers with contagious smiles, often knowing each person by name.


Earning the trust of our long-time customers is very important to us, and it’s our goal to make sure each and every customer knows he or she can count on us to provide the paint, stains, or accessories necessary to make their dream project come to fruition.

Whether you are a Contractor, Designer, or DIYer, and have a question about paints, stains, or accessories, Art, Fernando, and their staff are at hand to personally assist you with the products that are just right for your architectural, commercial, industrial, or residential project.

Our motto continues to be: “Do you have Paint questions? We have Paint answers!”
