About Mr. Speed's Painting Tools
Mr. Speed's Door Painting Systems: Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow
From humble beginnings in Amarillo, Texas, Mr. Speed’s Painting Tools has grown into a trusted name in the painting industry, renowned for innovation and quality. Established by Richard Speed, the company began with a single mission: to create tools that make professional painting faster, more efficient, and more precise. Today, with the flagship Door Decker system, Mr. Speed’s Painting Tools serves both local and international markets, setting the standard for excellence. As the company looks toward the future, now led by the next generation of the Speed family, it remains dedicated to delivering reliable, industry-leading tools that help painters achieve exceptional results on every project.
Origins & Innovation
Mr. Speed’s Painting Tools, established in Amarillo, Texas, introduced the Door Decker system to transform door painting efficiency. Founder Richard Speed, a seasoned painting contractor, recognized a gap in the market for specialized tools that streamline the door painting process. In 2002, he launched the Door Decker Finishing System, allowing painters to work faster with higher-quality results.
Company Growth
Initially focusing on door painting solutions, Speed Painting, Inc. expanded its line to include tools for cabinet door painting, creating a full Door Painting System. This expansion reflects the company’s commitment to addressing the unique needs of professional painters, from Amarillo to international markets.
Global Reach
Beyond the U.S., Speed Painting, Inc. products are available in Canada, the UK, and Europe. A 2018 partnership with THE PAINT SHACK in the UK strengthened the brand’s global distribution network, enhancing access to its innovative tools abroad.
