Choosing the right paint can feel overwhelming when every can claims to deliver perfect coverage and lasting color. At Porter’s Paint & Wall Covering—based in State College, PA, and serving all of Centre County—we make the process easier with personalized guidance and dependable, American-made products. As the region’s only independent paint and wallpaper dealer, we offer expertise and attention that big box stores simply can’t match.

Since 1993, we have helped homeowners, contractors, and DIYers select the right paints, finishes, and supplies for every type of project. With decades of experience and a commitment to quality, we help ensure that every room, exterior, or surface looks the way you imagined—no stress, no guesswork, just great results.

Interior and Exterior Paint Options Built for Every Space

Interior Paints That Transform Your Living Spaces

Interior paint decisions can feel confusing when the wrong color or finish leads to uneven coverage or a look you didn’t expect. We help remove that uncertainty by guiding you toward high-performance interior paints that apply smoothly, cure beautifully, and hold up to everyday use.

Exterior Paints Designed for Weather and Wear

Exterior surfaces face sun, moisture, and temperature swings that break down low-quality paints quickly. Our exterior products are selected for superior adhesion, fade resistance, and durability, ensuring your home or business stays protected and visually appealing through every season.

Trusted American-Made Paint Brands

As an independent dealer, we intentionally choose paint and accessory brands known for reliability, consistency, and American craftsmanship. Our selections include:

  • UGL
  • Flood Stains
  • Proluxe Stains
  • Corona
  • Premium paintbrushes manufactured in Tampa, Florida

These brands are carried not for name recognition, but because they deliver the kind of performance our customers depend on. Whether painting a single room or managing a large commercial job, you’ll find products that make the work smoother and the results stronger.

Finishes and Applications Made Simple

Different surfaces respond differently to various finishes, and picking the wrong one can lead to glare, streaking, or visible wear. We guide you toward the finish that best suits your space, lighting, and usage so your final result looks intentional and polished.

Popular Finishes We Offer

  • Flat
  • Matte
  • Eggshell
  • Satin
  • Semi-Gloss
  • High-Gloss

Every finish has a specific purpose, and we help explain how each option will look and perform once applied. This ensures you feel confident in your choice before you even open the can.

Custom Color Matching for Perfect Results

Choosing a paint or stain color online or from a small chip often leads to surprises—especially in real lighting. Our custom color matching service eliminates the guesswork. Bring us a fabric sample, a painted piece, or a small chip, and we’ll create an accurate match using our in-store technology.

Custom matching is ideal for:

  • Room-to-room continuity
  • Touch-ups and repairs
  • Restorative or historic projects
  • Coordinating trim, cabinets, and accents

We help you explore undertones, compare lighting effects, and feel confident the color you choose is truly the color you’ll get.

We assist:

  • Homeowners beginning DIY painting projects
  • Contractors preparing residential or commercial jobs
