More are coming aboard every month.<\/p>\n<p>And, as the supplier of the boldest, most beautiful chalk-style paint on the market, we are dedicated to our retailers\u2019 success. After all, we wouldn\u2019t be where we are today without you.

In short\u2014help us help you.<\/p>\n<p>A super helpful resource for you to glean information and inspiration from is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/FATPaint.Retailers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Retailers\u2019 FAT Lounge<\/a> on Facebook. If you\u2019re not already a member, sign up today!

We are deeply connected with our neighbours here in New West and are extremely appreciative of the love and support we have received since we first opened our shop doors.<\/p>\n<p>Our community, however, isn\u2019t defined by physical borders; it\u2019s connected through shared values, resourcefulness and ingenuity. We also believe wholeheartedly in the DIY movement and spirit of giving. Whether it\u2019s sharing tips, tricks and techniques or providing marketing and retail support, our goal is to create a cooperative bond with all of our retailers, artisans and DIY\u2019ers where everyone\u2019s ideas are nurtured and supported.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thefatpaintcompany.com\/theskinny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FAT-Paint-Group-Photo-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6189 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/thefatpaintcompany.com\/theskinny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FAT-Paint-Group-Photo-1-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"940\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefatpaintcompany.com\/theskinny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FAT-Paint-Group-Photo-1-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thefatpaintcompany.com\/theskinny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FAT-Paint-Group-Photo-1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thefatpaintcompany.com\/theskinny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FAT-Paint-Group-Photo-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thefatpaintcompany.com\/theskinny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FAT-Paint-Group-Photo-1-930x618.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>WHO IS A FAT PAINT RETAILER?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Just like everything else, we are pretty picky when it comes to our retailers. We believe our retailers should be creative, imaginative artisans\u2014in one way or another\u2014as well as be an advocate for the DIY movement. Whether your heart skips at the thought of revitalizing tired, dated furniture or crafting decorations and holiday ornaments, you ooze with excitement at the very thought of creating something new.<\/p>\n<p>Our retailers should also be FAT Paint aficionados; people who have an intimate relationship with our chalk-style paint. You know how it covers, how it can be mixed or manipulated and have an encyclopedic knowledge of all the sanding, waxing and glazing techniques that go along with it. You pass on that wisdom to all members of your staff so everyone in your shop or store can confidently provide a positive experience to all your customers.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if you don\u2019t have all the answers, don\u2019t worry. The Skinny is here to lend you a helping hand. Use the resources we have provided to be the best retailer you can be. The primary goal of every retailer is to create life-long FAT fans who love your business and will tell all their friends.<\/p>\n<p>Be bold. Be beautiful. Stay FAT.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thefatpaintcompany.com\/theskinny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Iona-Wharton-French-Creek-Collective-4-West-Coast-Horizons-Photography.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6198 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/thefatpaintcompany.com\/theskinny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Iona-Wharton-French-Creek-Collective-4-West-Coast-Horizons-Photography-1024x758.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"940\" height=\"696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefatpaintcompany.com\/theskinny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Iona-Wharton-French-Creek-Collective-4-West-Coast-Horizons-Photography-1024x758.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thefatpaintcompany.com\/theskinny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Iona-Wharton-French-Creek-Collective-4-West-Coast-Horizons-Photography-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thefatpaintcompany.com\/theskinny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Iona-Wharton-French-Creek-Collective-4-West-Coast-Horizons-Photography-768x569.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thefatpaintcompany.com\/theskinny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Iona-Wharton-French-Creek-Collective-4-West-Coast-Horizons-Photography-930x688.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1515203353260{margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;}&#8221;] WELCOME TO THE SKINNY Your Insider Guide to All Things FAT &nbsp; We are thrilled to welcome you to FAT Paint.
