Finishes to Create Beautiful Spaces

We value time-honored methods, healthier sustainable materials, and refined color palettes. We create finishes to inspire and delight.

James Alexander Specialty Paints began as a small family-operated business in Kansas City with a focus on the natural simplicity and beauty of traditional limewash. That initial offering has since grown into an expanding line of specialty architectural finishes.

We look to the past for aesthetic inspiration, but we utilize modern coating technology to drive performance.

Accessibility and Ease

We believe the application process should be straightforward for everyone, from professional contractors to first-time DIYers. Our formulas are designed to be user-friendly and low-odor, making them an excellent choice for occupied homes.

Mineral and Plant-Based Finishes

With mineral and plant-based products being centerpieces of our paint finishes, we're proud to offer innovative products that are an upgrade in breathing easy indoors. We are careful about the ingredients we choose, ensuring our products respect the indoor environment and help keep living spaces comfortable.

Color and Finish

Design is at the core of our brand. We constantly track architectural trends to keep our palette fresh, offering Signature Color Collections that are carefully picked to work together. These curated colors provide a reliable, complementary range of options for any room.

Packed Securely, Shipped Direct

Our lime paints and plasters are manufactured and distributed from our centrally located midwestern US facility, allowing us to maintain strict quality control and get products to you efficiently. We take a hands-on approach to fulfillment, ensuring that your materials are packed securely and arrive ready for application.
