I'm Ali Newton, passionate "DIYer" and Founder of Newtons Paints Ltd. Back in the day I collected and restored old antique furniture. I was looking for an easier way to restore some old furniture without using toxic stripping products. I came across Chalk style paints and fell in love with the soft finish (and that it is so easy-to-use!)

There was nothing affordable available locally so I teamed up with a bespoke NZ, family run paint production company and launched our Chalk Finish range in 2014.

Today we offer a beautiful colour range of top quality, eco friendly styles of decorative multi pigmented NZ made paints including our new Malibu Mineral Paint, our Wood stains & a range of DIY supplies all curated for NZ with up-cycling and DIY in mind.

I personally have created our colour palette from the ground up-utilising the finest quality pigments incorporating good old fashioned hand tinting and blending, using as little machinery as possible. This all contributes to our push to remain as eco friendly as possible.

What drives me and my business is the sharing of my knowledge and passion for DIY & Crafting. I have been so fulfilled by empowering and guiding our thousands of lovely customers to DIY over the 10 years since I started this business. And ohh of course the bonus is having all of our beautiful products at my fingertips to indulge my love of crafting and creating with too ....I have to be honest (-:

Try it it's such good fun!
