The Paint Bucket is an independently owned and operated business.  The store history can be
traced back to  the 1950's in downtown Manhattan, KS. The store relocated to the west side of
Manhattan in 1980. Jim Lumb purchased the paint store from Manhattan Carpet and Interiors in
1995 after having worked for the parent company for 10 years.

In January 2005 the store moved to the current location at 618 Fort Riley Blvd, in search of better
access and visibility for customers. The store has always catered to the client who wants the job
done right with quality products. Our mission is teaching  the consumer how to get their job done
with professional results. The professional is also welcome, where we stock quality tools and a
range of specialty coatings for both industrial jobs and decorative finishes.   We proudly offer the
best selection of paint application tools in northeast Kansas!

If you need a few paint tips or a specialty item,stop in and see us. We'll make sure to get you the
right tools and the knowledge so you can get'r done!
