Occhuzzie is different from other oil paint companies

Occhuzzie's paint is made from the finest pigments and oils. Our paint is packed full of pigment with no fillers and we offer it at an affordable price. We are different from other oil paint companies because we do not mass produce nor do we have an assembly line. Our paint is higher quality due to the fact that our batches are smaller; therefore we can "hover" so to speak over the consistency of each paint batch. I take great pride in the milling process; if I am not completely satisfied I will mill it again until it is a creamy full bodied texture. Not only do I mix it, mill it and jar it but I am also the customer service as well. This is a tremendous advantage, for I am most certain that you will not get all of these qualities in one person when dealing with other paint manufacturers.

Occhuzzie uses and sells top grade refined linseed and safflower oil. This means our oil has been filtered into almost a clear state. In turn this gives us paint with less yellowing as it dries. (a common occurance in whites)

We have two sizes to choose from 16 or 32oz cans.

We also carry odorless mineral spirits, great for cleaning brushes or thinning paint also sold in 16 or 32oz cans.
