Seymour Paints Spray Paint: A Legacy Built in a Can

Few names carry more weight in the world of aerosol coatings than Seymour. Seymour Paints holds a truly unique distinction: the company invented the aerosol spray paint can itself. In 1949, founder Ed Seymour mixed paint and aerosol in a can and topped it with a spray head — a device originally intended to demonstrate an aluminum coating for steam radiators that ended up changing the way the world paints. Today, that pioneering spirit is alive in every can in Seymour's spray paint lineup.

Purpose-Built Formulas for Every Application

What sets Seymour apart in the spray paint category is the depth and specificity of its product lines. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all aerosol, Seymour engineers distinct formulas for distinct jobs:

• MRO High Solids Industrial Coatings: Designed for maintenance, repair, and operation (MRO) applications where maximum performance is required, these industrial-grade, high-solids professional coatings deliver 3–4 times the coverage of standard aerosol spray paint. They resist abrasion, heat, and high humidity, are USDA authorized, and protect against rust, weather, oil, gasoline, and most corrosive chemicals — with heat resistance up to 300°F.
• Automotive Engine Enamels & General Use Spray Paints: Seymour's automotive line includes premium, high-quality engine enamels, lacquers, and primers across a wide range of colors, including a special high-heat formulation capable of withstanding temperatures up to 1,200°F — ideal for exhaust systems, grills, and engine components.
• Professional-Grade Metallic Coatings: Seymour produces professional-grade paints and coatings with real metal paste inside the pigment for a true factory-fresh appearance, including a stainless steel spray paint formulated with 316L stainless steel pigment for maximum corrosion resistance against weather, sunlight, oil, and water.
• Specialty & Industrial Marking Paints: The Stripe Series (including the 6-Series and 9-Series inverted ground marking lines) delivers vivid, long-lasting marks on surfaces ranging from pavement and grass to gravel and turf, meeting APWA color standards and available in fluorescent shades for maximum visibility.

VOC Compliance and Environmental Responsibility

Seymour has developed coatings using waterborne and high-solids resins as responsible alternatives to traditional solvent-based polymers. Seymour spray paints do not contain lead, cadmium, mercury, chromates, or chlorinated solvents — a meaningful differentiator for professionals working in regulated industries or environmentally sensitive environments. The MRO line is VOC compliant, meeting the nation's strictest standards.

Trusted by Professionals for Over 75 Years

As the largest family-owned and privately held aerosol paint manufacturer in the United States, Seymour backs every can with decades of formulation expertise. Whether you're a fleet maintenance technician reaching for a high-solids industrial enamel, an automotive DIYer touching up an engine block, or a facilities manager marking utility lines, Seymour's spray paint lineup is engineered to perform on the first coat — and hold up long after.
