Uganda’s Premier Destination for Car Refinishing, Marine, and Industrial Coatings

A flawless paint job defines a vehicle’s value, protects its body, and showcases your workshop’s skill. Whether you are performing a full respray on a salon car in Kampala, touching up a fleet vehicle in Jinja, or painting a marine hull in Entebbe, the difference between a showroom finish and an orange-peel disaster lies entirely in the chemistry of your coatings.

raeK Chemicals Ltd is Uganda’s leading stockist, online and offline retailer/reseller of premium automotive and industrial coatings. We do not sell watered-down, shelf-aged paints that peel after one season. We supply concentrated, fresh-stock systems directly to car body shops, professional painters, and smart DIY mechanics who demand durable, high-gloss results.

Why Professionals Choose raeK Chemicals for Car Paint

The local market is flooded with counterfeit and poorly stored paints. Buying cheap “bargain” tins often means adhesion failure, slow drying, and colour mismatch. Here is our promise to you:

100% Authentic Formulations: We stock El Mohandes, ATISO, SWECO, SMA, and JASMI—brands engineered for tropical climates. No substitutes, no fakes.
Precision Sizing: Don’t overpay for a 5-litre tin if you only need to spray a bumper. Buy from 1kg units up to 20kg full units, allowing you to manage cash flow and reduce inventory waste.
System Compatibility: Paint is a system, not a single tin. We ensure you leave with the correct thinner, hardener, and primer specific to your topcoat chemistry.
Technical Delivery: Our team speaks your language. We discuss solid content, flash-off times, and film build, ensuring you get the right product for your booth setup—whether you are using an HVLP gun in a garage or an airless setup for steelwork.

Complete Online Catalogue of Automotive Paints

1. 2K Paint Systems (High-Endurance Coatings)

For the ultimate durability and chemical resistance, nothing beats a 2K (two-component) system. By mixing a hardener with the base, you trigger a chemical cure that creates a tile-hard, scratch-resistant finish impervious to fuel spills and sun fading.

El Mohandes Super Mix 2K Base Coat

The gold standard for professional refinishing in the Middle East and Africa, now fully stocked in Kampala. This base coat delivers exceptional hiding power and a smooth, wet-look ground coat.

Available In: 1kg tins up to 20kg units.
Best For: Full vehicle resprays, colour change projects, premium repair work.
Pro Tip: Pair this with the El Mohandes Super Mix 2K Hardener (H10 or H51) for guaranteed chemical cross-linking. Never substitute with a cheap generic hardener—it will ruin the gloss and durability.

Swecryl 2K Acrylic Enamel (Black)

A direct-gloss, high-solid enamel that cures to a deep, pitch-black mirror finish without needing a clear coat in many applications.

Available In: 1kg to 20kg units.
Best For: Chassis components, fleet vehicles, and commercial equipment requiring fast turnaround and extreme toughness.

2. 1K & Pearl Base Coats (Showroom Finish)

For stunning aesthetics and dazzling effects, our base coat range provides the colour and effect layer that requires a subsequent clear coat.

ATISO AQ830 Automotive Finishes (1K Pearl)

A premium, ready-to-reduce base coat offering spectacular pearlescent travel. This formulation provides exceptional “flop” control, meaning the metallic/pearl particles lay flat and even, avoiding blotchiness.

Available In: 1 Litre tins.
Best For: Custom paint jobs, luxury sedans, and high-visibility panels.

SMA Base Coat (Acrylic Liquid Coating)

A high-value, reliable base coat offering excellent adhesion to primer and a smooth substrate for the clear coat. It is the perfect system for budget-conscious resprays that still demand a factory-fresh look.

Available In: 1kg to 20kg units.
Best For: High-volume body shops handling daily insurance repairs.

3. Nitrocellulose & Traditional Systems

Sometimes, modern 2K is overkill. For quick spot repairs, matte finishes, or areas without proper breathing apparatus, our traditional lines offer a cost-effective solution.

SWECO Auto Refinishing Paint (Nitrocellulose Resin)

This is the fast-dry workhorse. Unlike 2K paints, nitrocellulose dries purely by solvent evaporation, allowing for rapid buffing, easy blending, and quick turnaround in a panel-shop environment.

Available In: 1kg to 20kg units.
Best For: Spot repairs, blending panels, and restoration of classic cars where a clear-over-base system is not original.

4. Aerosol & Quick-Fix Solutions

Spray Paint (Gold) – Ultra Acrylic

For a rapid, mess-free application on small metal and automotive parts. This high-pressure acrylic aerosol provides a fan-spray pattern mirroring a professional gun, not a messy dot pattern.

Best For: Engine bay detailing, brake calipers, badges, and furniture hardware.

Preparation & Ancillary Products (The Backbone of a Good Job)

A topcoat is only as good as the surface it sits on. We stock the complete system for total vehicle restoration.

El Mohandes Light Weight Body Filler

Stop using heavy polyester fillers that sink, shrink, and fall out. This premium, lightweight filler spreads like butter, sands like chalk, and provides a pinhole-free surface with zero sinking over time.

Available In: 5 Litre tins.
Top Tip: Apply over properly keyed metal for perfect adhesion.

JASMI Standard Thinner (Nitrocellulose Thinner)

Using the wrong thinner causes blushing, die-back (loss of gloss), and solvent popping. This is a pure, high-grade nitrocellulose thinner calibrated for East African humidity. Do not ruin expensive paint with cheap street-grade thinners.

Available In: 4kg containers.

Beyond Automotive: Marine, Boat & Metal Structure Coatings

Our expertise extends past the garage. We protect assets that face the harshest elements in Uganda—water and industrial corrosion.

We Supply:

SEWECO Super Anti Fouling Paint: Protects boat hulls from barnacles and algae growth in Lake Victoria, maintaining speed and fuel efficiency.
SEWECO Super Gloss Enamel: A tough, UV-stable enamel for metal gates, structural steelwork, and machinery.
El Mohandes Hardener Range (H10/H51): The activator for industrial 2K systems, ensuring chemical resistance against fuels, oils, and cleaning agents.
