Steam Train Paint


T & R Williamson’s has been making paint and specialist coatings since 1775 and is proud of its heritage. With over 225 years of experience we have provided many of the original manufacturers with their paint requirements. The extensive colour library and product range has provided paint for a wide range of restoration and heritage projects including Stephenson’s Rocket, The Flying Scotsman, The Royal Opera House, Golden Gate Bridge and the Royal Mews. Any restoration enthusiast will tell you, whether it is a Traction Engine, Tractor, Bus, Long boat or Train, that you cannot get better than the original manufacture’s components. Paint is no different. Steam or Traction engine, Station House or workshop, Long boat or yacht, vintage car, bus or fair ground attraction, we are happy to help restore your vehicle to its full glory.
